I use Super Lube on everything. Cars, guns, rc cars, yard equipment! Over 20 years and hasn't let me down yet

Super Lube was the go-to back when I was in the fitness industry. We used it mainly to lube the guide rods on machines with a weight stack with nylon bushings. Stuff lasts a long time without gunking up. I bought out the local parts store and found out that Radio Shack had a private labeled tube of the Super Lube - exact same stuff in a white tube. And yes, Phil Wood is the only bike grease to use.

I use Lucas brand GUN OIL that has high viscosity and rust prevention properties in it. It is good for oiling the joints of pliers and putting a safety coat over the metal. Garages are notorious for being humid. Tools rust within years of purchase, regardless of quality. To me WD40 removes factory grease in joints and it is only a very temporary fix for sticking. Pliers need thin grease/oil that prevents rust as rusting joint is one of the hardest places to get the rust out of once it begins. I personally coat all my pliers from top to bottom with a thin layer of gun oil and then wipe them. No moisture is going to ruin my investments. Spend thousands on tools, just to watch them corrode? No thank you. If you turn off all the lights in your shop and garage, bright white led flashlights can point out rust on your tools better in that dark environment where you normally wouldn’t see it with the regular lights on.

That huge chunk of silicon is awesome

Always good to see more Super Lube love! I use it on gun slides and it’s top quality stuff. This was my main lubricating grease on electric motors back in the day. Very good since its dialectic.

For grease I use the standard superlube for my ratchets and all the vintage spinning reels I work on. For knives I use food grade mineral oil because I'm often cutting food with them.

Another big name of _excellent_ lubricants is 'Boelube'

Yes, Super Lube makes good stuff! Another old time mfg of both general purpose & specialty lubricants is 'Lubriplate. Many of their products are specified for aerospace & industrial applications... but other than small tubes of general purpose white grease, is rarely seen in stores... however it all can be had from most usual sources.

I got some Oatey silicone grease and love it works great!!

I keep a tube of Super Lube silicone grease in a Fat .50 Cal ammo can that is my trailer ball kit to grease the ball before dropping the hitch. Yes it’s pricy for silly trailer ball grease but it’s small and compact. I keep it in a one quart Zip-Loc bag with a few paper towels to wipe the ball clean when the trailer is unhitched. When at home I use a tub of Red N Tacky grease to grease the ball but when away the tube of Super Lube is always with me to keep a dry hitch from eating up my trailer ball. When the kids were little I used FDA food grade silicone grease and spray for their squeaky toys. Me, I grew up on 30w Gulf motor oil for all of my squeaky toys and it didn’t affect me.

I use SRAM butter for droppers and suspensions, which may be a rebranded slickoleum. Super light and slick. I like Fluid Film as well. I will use Super Lube for my next brake job.

Various Apiezon greases in sensitive environments like cleanrooms (L for ultra high vac, N for cryo) as well as Krytox and sometimes Dow Corning high vacuum depending on application/outgas requirements/etc. Dow molykote 111 for O-rings (especially for potable water apps), Shin-Etsu silicone for door seals and window channels, Mobil 1 for wheel bearings and general purpose, Super lube for ratchets and general purpose, Maxima or a similar marine grease - mercury, evinrude, quicksilver for water immersion (boat trailer bearings), outboards, or when thickness is needed, and when moly is needed typically a product from Stalube or CRC.

I use Permatex silicone-based dielectric grease for almost everything but bearings. B'laster brand dry lube with PTFE for dry applications. Chevron 3% molybdenum or Red N' Tacky for bearings and gears depending on application. And silicone spray on car intake air filters for anyone you don't like.

Super Lube synthetic grease has been a mainstay for me.

I use the regular Super Lube grease in all my ratchets. I use 3-1 oil to lubricate and coat my pliers so they don’t rust. I like to use WD-40 as a cleaner, if I’m removing rust and gunk from hand tools.

I have some tubs of Super-Lube, and put in syringes to use. Of course I forgot to mark which was which, but they all work well for plumbing and general lubrication, but the next time I load up a syringe I'm going to mark it. I also like Liquid Film, to keep things from rusting. And WD-40 to clean stuff and dry it off.

Fluid Film! I have a custard dish and small paint brush at my side for almost every project. Glop that stuff on everything! Have every other specialty grease for specific applications. but Fluid Film is used daily for one thing or another.

This general purpose superlube is magic for 3d printers lead screw/rails.

Hello again Doc Thank you for another Great Video 👍 I needed this for my ratchets. Thank you 😊

I find it a good grease for my firearms that have to endure arctic cold conditions. And for battery terminals.

I have always used Lubri-plate my father was a mechanic for Falcon Coal company in the 70s and that’s all they would buy and it was a super high production facility so if it was good enough for that it still works very good for me

I love Lucas white lithium grease and Lucas red and tacky grease.

For motorbike, ACF50 corrosion block grease and Copper grease (anti-seize).

i build custom keyboards so i use superlube a lot and i started using it for everything else as well lol other than that, for my "rag in a can" oil i use rem oil since theres basically no scent at all and if it keeps my guns from rusting then its good for my tools

Lucas red and tacky is great

Mostly wd40 and super lube, though I've been using dry lube a lot more lately

I love the super lube also I noticed overtime it does not degrade snd leak out my grease gun like the Lucas greases do the make a huge mess in my shop as the oil degrades out of the grease

I use Maxima and Slickoleum for grease, and Liquid Wrench super lubricant for lubricant.

I love super lube. I use the multi-purpose synthetic in two forms; grease in a tube (21030) and oil in a bottle (51004). Great stuff.

Super lube is great for pools and hot tubs. You can wipe it off which is a big deal compared to magic lube for example doesn’t even want to wash off

Great stuff! Use it on flashlight threads, o-rings and burgers... Never hot dogs.

The small applicator may be (or at least is used in) keyboard switch lubrication.

I use Bel-Ray waterproof grease. But looking into the super lube grease's.

Oster Blade Lube (for hair clippers) - 4oz for $2.69 on Amazon Basically white mineral oil that is safe on skin as opposed to 3-IN-ONE I use it on pliers

I seen a video where they used valve grinding compound on a pair of stiff new pliers and the after effect was they were smooth like a great set of knipex. I wanna try it on my lesser used snap on pliers that aren't broken in.

I have to admit for years I let bias rule my thoughts on Superlube. The only place I ever saw was at HF so I thought it must not be very good. I noticed a lot of respected KZfaqrs were using it and I slowly changed my mind.

So what would you use for pliers, screw drivers the steel and the handles?

I may be wrong I thought using silicone grease on silicone o rings deterates the o rings?

I like the silicone spray usually wd40 just because of built in straw

I believe there are two more products that are similar from other companies: Napa SylGlide and KleenFlo Eze Slide. Would be interested to know how they compare from a tackiness / slipperiness perspective

i recently picked up a can of blaster dry lube and its worked great on my Knipex pliers wrenches and cobras,, nice smooth movements, doesnt stick soo much and repels dirt n dust. but i wanna try some of this to see whis is better. i like the idea of the dry lube, jist cuz i dont wanna feel like i just rubbed suntan lotion on all over all my hand tools when i use em,, which is what i thought of watching you spread those greases around lol... but the og version was very watery oily which looks to be the smartest choice for,,, but yeah, what would you recommend for say pliers wrench/cobras /ratchets and such?

Which one is good for 3D printer? Help please.

The semiconductor industry commonly uses perfluoropolyether greases for many things. Low off-gassing in vacuum, low particle production, tighter viscosity control across a range of temps, chemical resistance, safe and non-reactive on many polymers, plus I’m sure a host of other properties as well. DuPont Krytox 205 is the “basic” version. Definitely a performance grease with a performance price. Oh right, decomposes and releases little hydrofluoric acid above 550F. It’s actually used a lot of surprising places but kinda one of those low key grease secrets. Mechanical keyboard junkies lube their keyboard switches with the 205 grade 0 for that extra smooth typing experience. Kluber is the European brand for pfpe greases. Both DuPont and Kluber have spec sheets for days if you want to get down the ultraperformance grease rabbit hole. All your lithium soap greases, moly, and graphite greases have pfpe versions. Cheers

what do you use for sticky pliers?

Silicone greases are NOT suitable for metal to metal lubrication. You can use them for metal to rubber or metal to plastic or plastic to plastic or plastic to rubber. But silicone grease is not a metal to metal lubricant. It is still slippery but the metal will gall and wear quickly. Same goes for silicone spray. Not for metal to metal. Lots of people do not understand this. For people who know, dimethylpolysiloxane is like liquid rubber. It will not prevent steel from galling and wearing. Stop using it for the wrong purposes. ---Doozer

I’m thinking super lube might be a good product for the slides on my tool box drawers. Would like to hear feedback from what you guys are using. Thanks in advance.

I always keep about 57 different lubes in my shop along with 4 daily carries as you never know??

Super Lube is great stuff! Unfortunately, it is also stupidly expensive here in the UK - £10+ for one of those tubes - so I use it on small stuff like folding knives, flashlights, blowback air pistol slides, and also in ratchet heads, since that's what Snap-On supplies in its rebuild kits, and if it's good enough for Snap-On, it's good enough for me. I got a bulk deal a few years ago on some large bottles of Snap-On Spot Lube, which I suspect is the same as the thinner type of Super Lube - anyone have any info on that? WD-40 is not really much of a lubricant at all, it's a cleaner and water displacer - I never use it as a lube, more for cleaning things before applying a more substantial (higher viscosity) lube.

nye nyogel 760G creat for electrical connectors.

I've used Super Lube but haven't seen it on the store shelves anymore WalMart is so fickle sticking with brands

Can one of these be used as gear-grease (foodgrade) in a KitchenAid Artisan mixer?

I’ve used a lot of it, long before it became so well known. My one concern is, they sell it in all these different types, but is there actually a difference between any of them? As far as I can tell, they all look, feel, and behave identically. Also, be aware that their oil products separate badly.

Is Super Lube Synthetic Grease safe to use on edmp rubber like car door seals?

i love super lube, USA made!

Dog upgrades glove..LOL!!!!!!

What is it Doc, what do you do! Show us something please!

Which one is best for plastic gears my blu ray player disk drive is struggling.. I want to lube up the white plastic gears.

Harbor freight sells super lube

Is there really any difference between their synthetic greases; O-Ring grease, Brake grease and Multi-Purpose? I'm dubious there is any difference. I bet all their silicone greases are the same too. Edit: The synthetic greases contain no silicone.

Just to keep it simple for me…. Lucas Red and Tacky on just about everything…..

Anyone know what to use on the seals on car doors, trunks etc. to keep them from dry rot and cracking?

Here we have Liqui Moly 😀

Whatever my work uses... Just like 99% of everyone else. The last 1% is too new to think about it.

Hi all what would be a good grease for fishing reels and guitar tuners mechanism thank you.
