I used CLP out of curiosity, I work on & clean my firearms in my basement where a lot of my tools are, man that stuff works wonders on tools & also lasts a long time
Off-the-shelf hairspray was recommended as an anticorrosive by a Knipex manager on the German channel Bauforum24
Good to know! I bought this week Knipex, Channellock and Klein tools. I need these tools for my guitar restring needs, around the house stuff etc...so I don't think I'll need it soon. But it's good to know. Very informative! Thanks por the post!
Thank you for the video.
Good choise of tool brand
I've had good success with WD-40 water specialist silicone spray in loosening up patio doors and windows.
Old German Secret: Ballistol. Universal stuff, good for weapons, tools, leather & everything. Btw: WD 40 is NOT a lubricant. It displaces water, as it is supposed to and where the name comes from: Water Displacement Formula 40. but it’s only good as first step. Afterwards it’s a good idea to use oils like Ballistol.
Never had good luck with Ballistol, I know many people think highly of it though! Thanks for the suggestion!
There is a WD-40 Specialist dry lube PTFE, it is a lubricant and it dries quickly and protects from rust, the design of the bottle was black and grey but they changes it to the original blue and yellow color scheme
Good video. You need to be aware that some lubricants will leave films on wood that impact the finishing of the wood. Fine Woodworking magazine has run a number of articles on lubricants that are good for woodworking tools.
I have found that the dry lubricants both those from WD 40 and DuPont are good for door locks and hinges. They last and don't leave a mess. I have found spraying a key with the dry lube and then working the key in the lock is very effective.
Can you use fluid film on the handles of the tools?
Corrosion X. Pricey but effective.
what do you spray into your powertools to keep them clean?
Your tools caught my attention, they look tough. What brand is that? Thanks for sharing💯/💯
The WD in WD40 means water disbursement and this was their fortieth try. Hence WD-40
Well 👍 done my bro.. liked..
Qs. For someone not inclined in spending on a dedicated rust prevention solution, do you suggest lightly spraying silicone spray or WD40 or coconut oil or any house hold stuffs on your new tools as a decent precautionary measure against rusting?
Some kind of paste wax would give you the longest protection, you can use WD-40 or mineral oil, however those types of oils wear off rather quickly, so you would want to make sure to apply them frequently. Silicone base products might be a little better option.
@ParklanCustom yeah mineral oil wears quickly because it doesn't dry so it basically rubs off
I would like to try fluid film, unfortunately it is not sold in Italy
Its really good for its purpose, but there are plenty of other options out there.
How do you clean the handle’s?
Handles are far easier to clean, just use some WD40.
Swipe it aroused is never that bad just show some character. However when they're rusted beyond use or you need to soak them in vinegar for 3 days it's a different story. Boy does that vinegar do a good job on them.
It does. But it also removes logo from the tools. Big drawback is one cares about it
"... The number one thing..." - proceeds to mention 7 different things...
This is nothing new. Those commercially available materials are old story. Let me tell you how to protect your tools from rust/corrosion. All you need is a hygroscopic materials. A desiccant such as silica gel or carbon active will absorb the water from the air surrounding your tools. Try it and see for yourself which one is more effective (prevention) for corrosion. Just put a few pack of silica gel in your tool box.
I do keep some desiccant pouches in my tool box and bags, only problem is, that won’t help you if you leave your tool outside or work in wet areas or in the rain.
I tried this and the shop I work at had a mice problem 😂 little bastards
Ate the packets and made a mess
