Grinding when Turning

[smartguyz]

Interesting review, but as usual with lubricants there is no measurement of wear on one product versus another.
When I put the Super Lube on my scissors, after about 10 to 20 operations the scissors were sticking again. With the Du Pont Lube I cycled them about 80 times and they worked fine. I quit cycling at the time and quit using Super Lube.

Hey Bob,

That's a good 'real-world' test. So, you're using the 'thicker' of the two lubes? And you like it? The biggest thing, in my experience is that Super-Lube collects all kinds of dirt and grass during PT operation. I'd LOVE to move to something that just doesn't do that. I have to believe that when dirt gets into the joint it has to make it wear faster. If we can use a product that a) removes dirt and water (e.g. via solvent flushing action) and b) leaves a tough lubricant and c) doesn't attract contaminants, then it would be ideal. It seems that this might the ticket.

I see my local Lowe's has the lighter 'multi-use' Dupont spray in stock. I'll have to check with Ace and TrueValue.
