I use gun oil. More specifically this gun oil.

Apply to a rage/cheesecloth and wipe it down after its clean. No dust buildup, and no greasy feel like WD40

kleenflo PWD with PTFE

that should be basically the same as what you have there

By not being a lazy fuck and cleaning the workspace.

I usually wipe off my tools after I finish a project keeps them pretty rust free.

On every few months I give the moving parts a squirt of 3 in 1 or fluidfilm

HoW much cost spray bottles in your tool store
>Tfw in Germany
>Spray paint 12€
>Brake cleaner 6€
>Wd40 smallest bottle 4€
>Large Wd40 I think 14 €
Price per bottle

The best tools rust. High carbon steel and all.

As a noob I used wd40.
I've now upgraded to 3inOne oil, it lasts longer, and it creeps into gaps. Also cheap. I should probably upgrade, some wood glue created rust spots on my square.

Some people swear by beeswax, never tried it myself.

Old tools rust easily, but many are too beautifully made to replace. The old style iron and steel isn't affordable anymore. Also wood planes.

>>945433
I regularly wipe down with 3 in one oil, but also I keep a 500g bag of silica gel in my tool box. Silica gel is cheap (amazon/ebay) and reusable and keeps the all the tools happy dry.

I dunno about these teflon/ptfe lubricant sprays, can they rub off onto wood?

I use GT85. It's essentially WD-40 with added teflon.

>My favorite rust preventative/ general use lubricant has been discontinued for a while now ;_;
if the pic is what you speak of, then it may not be discontinued. DuPont sold the same product in two different cans.

The Teflon Multi-Use lube is/was also sold in a yellow can, marked as DuPont Teflon Chain Saver. It's the exact same stuff in both cans. The Multi-Use was sold in retail stores for the little people, and the Chain Saver was sold through industrial outlets.
