GOOP Hand Cleaner for cleaning grease from hands and clothes.

Agreed! No job is complete without a good Kentucky Bourbon for lubrication.

[jeffmoss26]

in all seriousness though...
Kroil, PB Blaster, LPS #1, CRC Knock 'er Loose, PB-50, and this special telephone cleaner spray are all things I find extra handy, besides the usual WD-40, loctite, glue, etc.

WD40, RemOil, Hoppes#9, Stabil, Carb Cleaner, Dereasers, Kerosene, 3in1 oil, multi-purpose grease.....

Anti-seize.

 

[Jim85IROC]

Brake cleaner. I can't live without it. I use it to clean almost everything, including my hands. I also keep Kroil and/or Mopar Rust Penetrant very close by at all times.

Duct tape and WD40! If it moves and shouldn't - duct tape, if it doesn't move and should - WD40! Forget about Super Glue, it works on so little it's not worth buying (and it's bond can be broken just by a sharp hit!).

So far it looks like Monte's photo is the only remote reference to Ballistol. Personally, if I ever ran out of the stuff, I wouldn't even bother to turn the lights on until I got some more. I became a fan about 10 years ago, and my enthusiasm for it grows constantly. http://www.ballistol.com/ The only downside might be its odor.....young guys around my shop have told me it smells like really strong "ditch weed", I, of course, wouldn't know. I think one of its best properties is its value as a penetrant. I admit, I've never used the acetone/ATF mix trick, but I'll bet Ballistol can hold its own against it. Try it, you'll like it!
