Hi all,
I've been wondering, seems like Ballistol is a well regarded all around cleaner/lube/protectant in the weapons world.
Some swear only by it.
I was wondering if it has it's place in the machining world.
The marketing pitch
Like that it sounds like the perfect toolroom general cleaner, rust preventive, headache-free product that has no problem with wood, rubber, o-rings, plastics, etc.
Would you recommend it for precision instruments care (like calipers, mikes etc) ?
Would you recommend it for lathe general cleaning/protect care ? (not including ways/gearbox lubricating that have specific oils for them)
Would it be a valid option for preventing rust on hand tools, drill bits... kinda something one could spray around without too much thinking ?
Any input appreciated
Cheers
