Sentry Solutions Tuf-Glide Dry Lube Gun Knife CLP Needle Applicator 0.5 oz

Works as intended great knife hinge oil

This is the best stuff I've yet found to use to lube my knives pivot and I've been trying everything I can get my hands on for years now. I just recently bought a very nice custom flipper and after a few days of playing with the knife way more than using it the flipping action started to drag a bit and it felt as if the bearings were the problem. Just one drop of Sentry Solutions TUF-Glide on the detent and then allowing the blade to open and close made the knife instantly slick as grease lighting once again. Anyone opening and closing that knife would have thought that the pivot was dry as a bone and and bearing wear was taking place but once the detent ball had a slick (DRY) surface to travel over it was smooth sailing once again.What makes this stuff great is that it applies wet its able to get into all the hard to reach yet important areas (the needle point applicator is great) but then it dries and once it dries it will never collect dust, dirt or lint like so many other lubes that stay wet or viscous. When I receive a new knife now the first thing I do is carefully take it apart and wipe clean the bronze washer or caged bearings and then I apply the Tuf-Glide and reassemble the knife. I know that most other lubes are only going to gunk up with lint/dust while in my pocket or while being used so now I start with Tuf-Glide and it keeps my knives nice and lubed without attracting dust or lint to the pivot. It's great stuff and it's SO cheap...I bet you could easily lube 50 or more folders with just one 1/2 oz bottle. Give this stuff a try!

I've been a longtime user of Militec-1 and Break-Free CLP, but I wanted something that would attract less dust and grime into the pivots of my tools.I just tested this out by lubricating every nook and cranny of my Leatherman that could use it. I don't mind the smell, which is similar to other lubricants. I was a little hesitant to spend nearly ten dollars on a half ounce bottle, but I see now that it was money well spent. It did an excellent job of loosening up the Leatherman and the bottle looks just as full as when I started.That's because the high-quality metal needle applicator and rigid bottle make it nearly impossible to miss the right placement or amount of Tuf-Glide. I once had a 1/3 oz. sample of Militec-1 that lasted FOREVER, and that applicator was clumsy by comparison. The applicator cap comes with a nice rubber stopper and an internal gasket to prevent any leaks or evaporation.I'll definitely buy this again. The good news is I don't think I'll need to for another 8 years or so!

Works fine. Metal applicator is included but requires separate storage. Looks like it plugs easily.

I bought Sentry Solutions Tuf-Glide to help lubricate my new CRKT blade, which seemed a little stiff, whenever I opened it. But after a few drops at the pivot point and deploying the knife several times to work the lube in, opening and closing the knife is like a dream! Smooth, quick and easy as pie!Highly recommended and much better than using WD-40! And the needle applicator made putting the exact amount of lube precisely where I wanted a breeze!

OMG this stuff is AWESOME! I had an old, well loved, Victorinox Swiss Army Knife, whose main and secondary knife blades had become horrifically stuck to the point of only being able to be pulled open with the pliers from my Leatherman tool. I tried cleaning it with hot water WD-40 and other solutions, but to no avail. I figured I had damaged the spring or bolsters beyond repair and I've had unimpressive experiences with Victorinox customer service in the past.Having conceded defeat, regarding the practicality of the SAK continuing to be my EDC, I lovingly retired it to the top dresser drawer - UNTIL I came across references to Sentry Solution Tuf-Glide, found it here on Amazon, and gave the product a try.The needle applicator got the solution deep down in the mechanism and the lubricant penetrated alongside the blade to the pivot pin with ease. I was elated when I once again, was able to work the blade open and closed by hand, without pliers. I couldn't get that goofy grin off my face as I worked the blades Open, and closed, and open, and closed, open, and closed (ad nauseum).The knive works like new again and it resides where it belongs, in my left front pocket, every where I go (except courthouses and airplanes, of course.)

have used on and in locks, door handles, and hinges. made things quieter, smoother, and easier.and it's pretty durable compared to some of the other liquid graphite products I've tried in the past. does not require reapplication every time you turn around.worth the money.

Came in ziplock. Ziplock contained about 1/4 of the oil that should have been in the bottle. Will look for this item locally to avoid paying full price for 75% of the product. Made a messs of other items shipped in the same box.
