I used to Rich, but apparently it’s a bit of a no-no now. Duck oil for me, Joe is spot on. Kram how an earth do you clean a saw properly without a compressor?

Duck oil is the best to use. It shifts grime without leaving a residue.

I've got some 3in1 in the workshop, and I have a compressor, so all set on that, will give it a clean and let y'all know

I used to do it with building firms ,moneys in account for labour and building materials, then id start work if the job was cancelled the money was in a separate account and it could be refunded . I never got burned , rather not have the job than be screwed over or acting like a bank for clients , f that I'm not registered as a charity !!!

It's the threads of mine which would potentially wear out first, being aluminium male and female. I have a mix of aluminium and fibre glass poles (for utility work) but nowadays as long as not working near electricity I would probably replace with carbon fibre tubes.

Yep. Good rinse, hot, then blow out to hopefully get it as dry as possible as quickly as possible. Further drying on least hot bit of stovetop (radiator for you plebs with central heating). WD40 and blow out. Wipe off. I know there are better lubricants than WD40 but a biner doesn't need to be super well lubed. Plus you get the water displacement, which you want. I can't imagine life without an airline. I'm about to clean some saws and then the kitchen floor while I'm at it. Dig it out, treat yourself.

I disagree it doesnt take much dirt to gum up a carabiner. A mate had a new DMM triple lock that wasnt closing, a squirt of oil instantly fixed it, but it was sent back only because it was new he couldnt trust it. Rinse after as washing up and soap can leave a salt residue and fast corrosion. A squirt or drop of oil is a good thing. Not wd40 but a light machine oil/sewing machine oil/hair clipper oil. I have a compressor but havent turned it on in years. Its buried behind chainsaw stuff in the small standing gap between the lathe.

An airline is the first thing I'd ready if you're doing any maintenance or cleaning, on a daily basis I've a choice of two tractors and a unimog that all have their own airlines, such an asset. The time saved when cleaning a saw for example is notable. Thinking about the past when there was no more than a bag with a selection of brushes, rags and scrapers for stuff 😞

The common theme here is the need for compressed air. Does anyone manage without it?
