Three in one oils/lubes
Hey all,
Sorry for posting this here, but I don't know where else to ask this: I'm recently getting a Leatherman Charge TTi (link here) and I'm wondering what type of 3 in 1 oils or lubes you guys use for your tools. Is there any specific type you guys would recommend? Is there any 'dry' type, meaning that I won't get my hands covered in oil from using a tool covered with this stuff? I understand that WD-40 is only a cleaner/ deruster, if I don't cover the tool with another oil after using WD-40 it will still rust? I live next to a salt water cannal.. so rust proofing is extremely important to me. @Mods: If there is a more appropriate place for this thread please move it. Thanks. TIA for any replies. Steve

Re: Three in one oils/lubes
Don't worry too much about it. Stainless steel doesn't really rust, and neither does titanium. So really what you need the oil for is to lubricate the joints. Personally I use a plain multiuse sewing machine type oil. Put a bit into the joints, move them around to make sure they're lubricated, and wipe the excess from surrounding areas. Doing that a few times a year is more than enough.

I know that titanium is completely rust resistant so I'm not worried there, but: Quote:
Here is what Leatherman says about this: Click me. I've had a pair of Stanley flat nosed SS pliars go off on me in a little less than a week. So, that's why I'm being so anal about rust proofing. Currently considering: 3-in-one dry lube (Haven't been able to find this stuff locally though... minimum order is 12 cans from a dealer) Puff Dino 191 metal protector (local Taiwan brand, currently using this) Website here WD-40 (which I would rather avoid, too many bad experiences when using non SS tools) Thanks again Steve
