The Burgon & Ball No.1 Tool Oil is a simple yet essential part of any gardener’s toolkit. Made from a blend of natural ingredients including refined linseed oil, it helps keep your tools performing at their best while protecting them from the wear and tear of everyday use.
This traditional maintenance oil is designed to nourish, seal and safeguard metal and wooden surfaces alike. When applied regularly, it prevents rust from forming on steel blades and keeps wooden handles supple and smooth. It’s suitable for shears, trowels, spades, secateurs and even larger hand tools, helping you preserve their finish and extend their working life.
Unlike synthetic alternatives, this natural formulation is gentle yet effective. It cleans off dirt and sap residue while leaving a thin protective layer that resists moisture and corrosion. Just a small amount after use keeps your tools looking cared for and ready for the next task.
Packaged in a recyclable tin and made with consideration for both performance and sustainability, the Burgon & Ball No.1 Tool Oil reflects the brand’s commitment to timeless quality. It’s the sort of product professional gardeners have relied on for generations — simple, dependable and quietly effective.
Use it after cleaning your tools with warm water and a brush. Wipe them dry, then apply a few drops of oil with a cloth. For wooden handles, use sparingly and buff in to maintain a smooth, comfortable finish. With regular use, your tools will not only last longer but look and feel better every season.
