This wax has lots of uses around the home, not just on shop or garage tools. Seeing as it’s made with Raw Pure Linseed oil and Indiana Bees Wax, it’s all natural and food safe. Sharpshank Redemption’s Tool and Axe Wax can be used on wooden cutting boards and any wooden utensils found in the kitchen. The linseed oil soaks into the wood so it does not dry out and get cracks, the bees wax seals the wood, making it water resistant. As the cutting boards and kitchen utensils are used it’s easy to reapply to reap the benefits of wood protection and water resistance. For shop or garage use it can be applied to Hand Planes, Table Saw, and drill press table surfaces to prevent corrosion. A thin coat on saw blade, hand plane blade, chisel edge makes the tool cut more efficient. Strip the varnish off common hand tools with wooden handles such as Axes, Rakes, Pulaski Tool, Pick Axes, Hammers, Clippers and whatever else you have that fits the description and this will help in a couple of ways. It will prevent the handles from drying out and keep moisture from ruining the handles. Additionally Sharpshank Redemption’s Tool and Axe Wax will save your hands. Varnish is “stickey” and it’s very easy to get blisters using a varnish coated handle, the Tool and Axe Wax is a smooth finish that allows your hands to move without being hindered by a sticky finsh. I use it on the blades of all my knives preventing corrosion.
