Greetings! I'm trying to figure out the best way to reduce the maintenance costs of the tools I use in my business. We experience breakdowns frequently and it's starting to eat into our budget. Should we invest in maintenance plans or is it better to focus on extending the life of our tools through regular maintenance? Any suggestions on how to approach this?      

I get your point. Always start with regular maintenance: cleaning, lubricating, and properly storing your tools can prevent unnecessary wear and tear. I highly recommend utilizing all the warranties and protection plans that come with your tools. Don't wait until they break before you consider having them serviced. Look out for tools with better warranties or even consider upgrading to more expensive models that require less frequent repairs. These may cost more, but they will last longer and save you money in the future.      

Hey, it's not unreasonable to research the ROI of tool protection, especially if your business relies heavily on expensive equipment. There's a great article that details how businesses can save money by protecting their tools early on: https://avstarnews.com/the-roi-of-tool-protection-how-businesses-can-cut-costs-on-repairs-and-replacements/. It really explains the long-term benefits and cost savings of investing in protection and maintenance plans. Definitely worth a look!
