What should be done with damaged and broken tools?

Damaged and broken tools should be taken out of service to ensure safety and maintain work efficiency. Using such tools can pose significant risks, including injury to the operator or damage to the materials being worked on. When tools are compromised, their effectiveness and reliability are diminished, which can lead to accidents or substandard work.

Taking damaged tools out of service allows for proper assessment and repair if feasible. It also prevents the potential hazards associated with using tools that may not function as intended. Regular inspections and maintenance help ensure that all tools are in good working order, contributing to a safer and more productive work environment.
