What oil and or lube or grease do you use on your gear (guns knives etc.) ? I use Breakfree clp to clean my guns then lube with Lucas Oil extreme duty gun oil. On my knives I use Froglube Clp paste because I do use my knives for food prep and it's food safe and minty haha

Slip2000 EWL. I tried FrogLube for a while, but I found that lint sticks to it. Plus, it creeps my wife out that it smells like toothpaste.

I have been using FrogLube CLP exclusively on my guns for 2 years. I really like it.

Same here. Plus my guns smell minty fresh!

Hoppe's Elite gun cleaner and Hoppes' 9 lubricant. When my current supply runs out, I may try something else or I may not. I used to use only Quaker State motor oil in my motorcycles. Now, for my cars, I use whatever brand meets the manufacturer's requirements. I have no brand loyalty.

I use some white grease TW25 to lube the sliding parts smear it on real thin along sliding parts. I got a free tube at the NRA convention in Houston. It will probably last me a lifetime. I use Hoppes oil to reach the places I can't get at with the grease. I don't really believe any oil or grease is much different. My guns don't rust nor show any signs of wear. I also wipe down my guns after cleaning them with a silicone rag. I don't know if it helps at all, but it doesn't hurt.

Mobil1 (good for race guns as well as race cars)

The froglube paste does attract lint quite a bit but it lasts forever on my knives even when nasty and dirty they are still slick as all get out. I tried it in in my guns for a little bit at one time but did not like it on them. That's when I went to break free clp to clean and lucus oil extreme duty to lube the guns

Thinking about trying some "Liberal Tears":

I use Ballistol as a solvent and Mobil1 as a lubricant. Works great for me.

Everyone will chime in but really, which ones don't work? How exactly is failure defined? Presently using Ballistol because Hickock45 uses it but I really don't know if one lube is better than another. All my guns work and none are rusting.

I think you defined "failure" as "all my guns work and none are rusting." Works for me.

You should see my gun cleaning kit. I have who knows how many different cleaners, solvents, oils, greases, etc., probably like some of you. The truth is, I have never had any gun problems that I could trace to failure of a cleaner or lube.

"Fireclean" for all my guns.

And about a jillion other kinds depending on what it's for as in bicycle chain lube, or a squeaky gate, or the various moving parts on my overhead garage door.

It could be old fashioned 3 in 1 oil if something is finely geared or a thin type of synthetic for fishing reels.

The list of lubes from oil to grease fills up about a third of a wall in my garage.
