How do you lube your air tools?

Being just a shadetree mechanic, I use my air tools maybe once a month on average. I just squirt some air tool oil down the whip before I use it. That way it keeps my main hose clean for my occasional painting efforts.

How about you?

lube

works for me, I use atf.

 

ATF is a lil heavy. Marvel Mystery Oil is better and I have seen it listed in several air tool manuals as a prefered oil.

 

That sounds like kind of a personal question to me! :laugh: :Brow:

 

I use air tool lube oil, found at Wal-Mart, Sears, etc. I have a little dropper bottle and just put three drops down the input fitting to the tool in before using it.

 

i use a norgren air line oiler on the outlet side of compressor. and marvel mys. oil in the oiler. keep seperate line for paint and such on a splitter with air dryer on it.

 

Can't we create a POLL for of this question ?

:laugh: :bglasses: :laugh:

 

Yeah! Call it: how do you lube your t... better not say that. Might get someone mad.

I use the air tool oil. I just dump some in the end and let it spray everywhere through the exhaust. The underside of my car appreciates it. My shirt doesn't, though.

 

I was gonna say SPIT :laugh: Until I read Joe's post! ou: Just Sears Craftsman air tool oil. :TU:
