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? - Bill :TU:
Good for the occassional user. Keeps your lines clean. http://www.mytoolstore.com/toolaid/airta01.html
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.
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.
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.
