Spray Nine Tool Saver Spray

[stchman]

I have an old can of Spray Nine Tool Saver and it works great. It leaves a film on the tools that lasts. Problem is, I cannot find it at all.

Where can it be bought, is there an alternative?

Thanks.

Fluid film spray?

Not on tools…smells like sheep. The shop would reek!

This stuff works well on tools. Available in a 16oz aerosol can.

This is what I've been using for years with great results. Amazon or Harley Davidson dealers have it.

Actually I keep some lanolin on a cheap chip paint brush. I wipe certain rust prone tools down with it and it works perfect. Can’t smell it at all.

Corrosion x also stinks.

Ballistol has a smell, which not everyone likes. But at least I know the next time it touches my skin, it’s not toxic, so that’s what I use most…

Wow, $25 for a 16oz can, they're proud of that stuff. More than spray gun lube.

I bought it for guns…does that help?

Timely ... a few days ago I was working on a friend's car outdoors, and we got rained on a bit.

When I got home I sprayed my tools with WD-40, particularly the ancient tap & die set where the pieces sit in indentations in a plastic tray.

Ironically - it’s my tap and die sets that convinced me to never use WD-40 again.

After a couple of years of WD-40 sitting on them - they were covered with sticky goo and hard varnish.

Utterly nasty. Hard to remove.

And it made the set unusable.

Weeks of soaking in solvent to clean them up.

Now, the get a spritz of plain oil.

I will never use WD-40 as a preservative again. It is absolute garbage for the purpose.

It was designed to displace moisture, and then be wiped off.

If I want to keep my tools from rusting, I wipe them down with oil.

Why not just wipe them down with oil before putting them away?
