chrisjpainter Posted September 9, 2022 Report Share Posted September 9, 2022 Any suggestions? They used to do their own, but can't see it for sale anymore. It got into a bit of a state. It's been taken apart and cleaned, so now I am thinking what to keep the joints in good nick. Any ideas welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ph5172 Posted September 9, 2022 Report Share Posted September 9, 2022 I sent one back for repair under warranty. It came back with a nice handwritten note suggesting I clean and lube my multi tool once in a while. I can’t locate it now but I’m sure they said light oil or gun oil. I have used gun oil with no issues. Also used it to clean ****, grease and sweat build up off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Croohur Posted September 14, 2022 Report Share Posted September 14, 2022 Brake cleaner when its been in the wars then a light gun oil/mineral oil, blow some air through it/around it and shes good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattsccm Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 Butter or what ever I have made the sarnies with. Sheep **** seems to work well although is an aquired taste between slices of bread! Rabbit guts leave things sticky and mud makes it a bit rough. Lamb or wild boar dripping is my fave though.
