    well....resons for using ballistol:
    nontoxic(according to the manufacturers even beneficial)
    can be used for leather, wood, cleaning and lubricating(althou I prefer Fluna GunCer for lubricating)
    enviromentally friendly

    Ballistol oil is often offered with high carbon steel knives for protection
    WD 40 on the other hand can not be applied to kitchen knives as it is not food grade

      Originally it even goes back to the year 1904. The German army wanted an oil that can be used for weapons as well as for treatening injuries. Nowadays it is still very popular here in Germany and people use it for almost anything. I know a former soldier from the Bundeswehr who even uses it as aftershave. People say he always smells like a new tank😂

    good test, many people get almost religous when it comes to lubricants or protection stuff, esp when its guns. ive always found wd40 works decently well and its about the easiest stuff to obtain anywhere in the world which is a huge bonus.

    • @FoodOnCrack
      @FoodOnCrack Před 8 lety

      wd-40 seems to work better in my experience when it comes to corrosion inhibiting. It is designed for that after all where as ballistol was designed as a multi use product. Always look if you can get WD-40 at a dollar store or such, buying it at home improvement stores is a total rip off

    • @gusloader123
      @gusloader123 Před rokem

      Jusb 1066 ---> Ballistol was specifically invented for firearms. It is probably the first C.L.P. (Cleaner-Lubricant-Protector). It was invented for the German Army before WW1. It works and has for 90+ years. It is based on vegetable products not harsh chemicals.
      I know that WD-40 is popular, BUT it will ruin the wood stocks on a firearm. I used to go Pheasant hunting with a guy that owned a Remington Model 1100. He was a bit lazy, so when he got home, he would spray some down the barrel and in the action area, then set the gun on the butt end in the closet. That WD-40 rotted out the stock and he had to replace it.

    WD-40...not on my guns! That stuff is a cleaner and good for breaking stuck bolts, period. Not good for rust corrosion or lubrication. WD40 is a mixture of oil and solvents. I just don’t use it on guns. It is not the right stuff.

      Well, I use WD40 in my backyard on the unpainted ends of a square steel tubing structure, it gets no rain/water. Spraying every 2-3 months, no rust yet, just shiny metal. For everything else and when there is any plastic around, I do not use WD40, but Sonax SX90 or Corrosion Block. Just trying to get some Ballistol for testing.

    Make this test again with water. WD 40 indicates that it displaces moisture. I did a test tube test for this. A bit of WD40 and water mixed up. And we can see that WD40 is a bunch of crap ^^
