All sorts of machinery need maintenance and so is the case with hydraulic tools too. Since hydraulic termination tools are comparatively more expensive than other hand tools, a good preventive care is what can save hydraulic tool owner from the costly replacing spree. Following guidelines should be followed religiously to maintain hydraulic tools for a longer period of time:
Tip 1: Maintain cleanliness
Most often the basic reason for premature hydraulic tool failure is its exposure to foreign materials like dirt and contamination. Dirt and dust generally enters from the pistons and rams on the remote head hence, in order to maintain cleanliness simple activities like brushing and wiping clean the hydraulic connections before inserting them into a remote head should be followed.
Tip 2: Use the tools properly
Another major reason for the lesser life span of hydraulic tools is the misuse of tools. Hammering or prying of hydraulic tools is indeed a misuse of it but even then its a common sight while repairing and reconditioning of it. This type of abuse with respect to the tools should be avoided completely for its longer shelf life.
Tip 3: Timely maintenance
A timely check of the entire system every six months is necessary and hence, should be done religiously. It can duly help in enhancing the life of your hydraulic tools manifold.

I have seen a lot of people make an effort to discus and write about this subject...and i have seen a lot of failures...but you have hit the nail on the HEAD....I agree totally and am looking forward to your view on other subjects
Properly maintaining your hydraulic tools is key. Not properly maintaining them is a sure recipe for failure. Thanks for writing a great blog about it!
