Complete care kit for Japanese garden tools
This Japanese Garden Tool Maintenance Kit is made for keeping secateurs, shears and small carbon steel garden tools clean, smooth and ready to use. It brings together the essentials for sap removal, rust prevention, light cleaning, oiling and edge touch-ups.
The kit comes packed in a handmade wooden toolbox designed by East West Tools, with dedicated internal storage for each item. Instead of loose bottles and stones rolling around in a plastic box, the camellia oil, blade cleaner, cloth, rust eraser and sharpening stone each have their own place.
What is included
- Camellia oil for rust protection and pivot lubrication
- Blade cleaner for sap and resin build-up
- Cleaning cloth
- Rust eraser for light rust and grime
- Sharpening stone for regular edge touch-ups
- Handmade wooden toolbox with dedicated storage
Best suited to
- Japanese secateurs and pruning shears
- Hedge shears, topiary shears and loppers
- Sickles, Hori Hori knives and small garden blades
- Gardeners buying their first carbon steel tools
- Anyone who wants oil, cleaner, stone and storage in one kit
Who should not buy this
- Do not buy this if you only need one refill item such as oil or sap cleaner.
- Do not buy it as a heavy repair kit for badly chipped or damaged blades.
- Do not expect the kit to remove the need for regular cleaning after use.
Care expectations
After pruning, remove sap and dirt, dry the tool properly and apply camellia oil to the blade and pivot. Use the rust eraser only when needed, and touch up the edge lightly before the tool feels truly dull.
