I was really sceptical of these little rubber blocks when I first used them.  I'm now a complete convert and use them on anything metal that needs a light clean up.

They are a fine grit embedded in a rubber block and are perfect for removing rust and sap from blades, especially secateurs and shears

Dip one end of the block into some water for a few seconds (you don't need to soak it like a wet stone.) Then use the Crean Mate as you would a rubber. It will develop a small amount of slurry that helps clean rust and sap from the surface metal.  It has a fairly rough texture and might scratch polished surfaces, so we suggest testing before use on prize blades.

You can use Crean Mate with oil, rather than water, but I prefer using water.  Once you've switched to oil you'd need to stay with it.

The Crean Mate block is 6.5 x 4.0 x 1.8cm - which seems small but it lasts a really long time.

This little block is straightforward to use thanks to the clear instructions on the website, and does the job perfectly. Tinker and Fix have a great website making every purchase consideration straightforward and easy. Everything I’ve ever purchased from them has been a success. Great value, it’s a relief having the tools clean and working properly.

Essential for your tool maintenance kit

Has been unavailable in the UK for ages so I was glad to find it at Tinker and Fix. Did not disappoint - cleans gunk really well from the blades of secateurs and other garden tools before sharpening. If you enjoy taking care of your vital garden tools, this is what you need...

A super little tool

It's a bit pricey but I'm hoping to have it a long time. It's remarkably good at getting dirt off blades with only a little pressure.
