Wrench lube question

[Bagherra]

I've seen a couple threads regarding the lubrication of ratchets.

What about ratcheting wrenches? I have a full set of GearWrench and was wondering if anybody out there lubes theirs...

Not even sure how you would do that.
Just use em and don't worry about "lubing" them.

I'm sure if u wanted to you could throw them in a pan filled with AT fluid overnight

I have Snap-On brand ratcheting spanners, I do not apply lubricant on the mechanism. Works fine. These spanners have a permanent mechanism that is pressed so it is not practical to disassemble them.

No lube needed. Just use them.

If I get a used one that needs a little lube I spray some penetrating oil on it and it usually helps a bit.

Not even sure how you would do that.

That line where the black socket part meets the chrome is where you put the oil. The oil has to be pretty thin to squeeze in there and you have to rotate the socket part to pull the oil in.

Yeah that's why I said about soaking it in at fluid.

Now some of the wrenches you can somewhat take apart like the blue point ones

You don't have to soak them. The oil goes in real easy if it's thin enough.

One word...Kroil

Kroil is only for combination wrenches.
