Go back a couple posts and you'll see. No... $5.00 for 2 ounces of "special air tool oil". Lloyd Cambell Hausfeld air tool oil in 8 oz bottle from Canadian tire is $4.19 Home Despot sells their Husky brand for $4.49 on-line for 8 oz. KleenFlo also sells air tool oil -at $44.90 for 4 liters from Acklands Grainger - and for interest's sake, the MSDS on that product indicates a boiling point of over 129C and a flashpoint of 69c. SG of 0.84, Contains 1% Zinc C1-C14 alkyldithiophosphates, 60-100% Hydrotreated petroleum oil, and 1-10% of both Naphthenic Oil and Hydrocarbon Distillate. Toolstore sells 20 oz of air tool oil (Bostich) for 7.99 Home Hardware sells the TopRing product in half liters for about $5. Busy Bee sells 8 0z of Porter Cable air tool oil for $4.99. CP Protectolube is sold in 591ml containers for $7.99 by KMS. All CANADIAN prices, which are generally about 30% higher than Yankee prices. Any one ever try Kroil by Kano Lab. Good stuff. Kroil is GREAT penetrating oil..but a bit too rich for airtool oil..unless you happen to have a drum of it. Cheap ATF works just fine for airtool oil. It takes me decades to go through a quart of Marvel Mystery Oil. It's likely just ATF glorified with additives, but I love the unique smell, too. -- Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterwards. -- Vernon Sanders Law |

It's basically a mineral oil with stoddard solvent along with a couple types of dichlorobenzene to dissolve carbon and varnish. If you ever tear apart a high speed air motor, take a look at the vanes. Most will have carbonized oil on them because of the friction between the bore and the vanes. -- Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterwards. -- Vernon Sanders Law -- Steve W. |

Picked up my impact wrench (1/2") and it stopped working. Pull the trigger and all you get is air out of the exhaust. No rotation. Is this worth tearing into? Could something be gummed up, not letting air flow to wherever? I'm generally good at fixing things but I've never been inside an air tool. All advise appreciated. BTW, the gun does not have that many hours on it. 9 years with maybe changing two or three sets of wheels per year. Thanks, Ivan Vegvary I had the same thing happening with mine, just did the ATF load and I think I got it! The interwebs are sooo useful. Thanks to all who contributed. |
