What spray for impact sockets

[mobiledynamics]

Aside from WD40.....anything you guys use to coat your impact sockets.
I live close to the ocean...misty foggy dewing nights tend to creep it's way in, and or temp swings causes dew.

The impacts that don't see much use get a lil rusty...

For salty and humid conditions I use CRC 6-56. I worked at a marina and it was great

Just about any oil. I use engine oil or compressor oil on my impacts ever since an incident working at a refinery on the gulf coast that turned my impact sockets into a line of rusty ****. I always try to keep a relatively clean rag soaked with oil to wipe them down before putting them away.

boeshield

Grease build up from the cars...

I work on the water, and my tools today were coated in condensation. No rust.

boeshield

+1 for the Boeshield. My is labled "Boeshield T-9". Keeps the rust away. Tool is not always greasy.

I'm just wondering if you guys spray down your other tools to prevent rust....?

I'm a road guy so my tools are exposed to extreme temperatures, I'll take some picks next time they are frosted over, I feel bad for them
Anywho, I just open up one drawer at a time and spray a mist of fluid film over everything, gets the job done well

Wipe down the inside and outside of new tools a coupla times
w/any synthetic motor oil or ATF (even the cheap stuff is largely synthetic).

Once the oil has 'soaked' into the metal in a short time
you're good to go
until you get carried away w/the carb cleaner or any strong solvent....

Maple Syrup. The American stuff,not the godless Canada sludge.

 

[Jure]

cheapest gun oil you can get

 

[rusty65]

Just curious I heard to use wax like paraffin wax to protect gun finishes would that work on impact sockets or would it just make a mess?

I use bee wax on all the surfaces of my woodworking machinery. It is great. Oil and wood do not mix. I keep a bottle of used moter oil and a rag in a coffe can. I wipe down all the shovels and things when I am done. It keeps the rust off of things and is free. Any coating will keep the moisture off. Spray the inside of the sockets as well. They tent to rust first. I always wipe down every tool when I am done with a job. The rag has a little light oil in it. All my tools on the farm in Indiana are rust free. Here in California I am so far from the coat it is not a problem. We are so dry even things sitting outside take 10 years to start rusing.

I keep hearing that but CMs always started rusting on the outside first.... even before I started playing w/sea fog!

No I don't wipe the outsides down w/seperate applications of solvent maintaing clean rags at all times.... *L*
