Ballistol Multi-Purpose Lubricant Cleaner Protectant, 4-Ounce, BO120045, Green

It’s a miracle cleaner, lubricant. The smell can be strong for some people but this oil works on literally everything. I have several cheap locks I use on the outside of my house in various functions. I use the oil in the locks all year around during all the seasons. Keeps the locks working perfectly, fights off rust and never gums up. Works on wood, rubber and everything. Great value too in regards to how much oil comes in a can.

This is a great product - especially for black powder shooters. I have been using this for decades and love how it works. I am surprised that I rarely find anyone (other than some black powder shooters) who have even heard of it. Its worth your time going to their website or Wiki and learning its history and uses.

Ballistol is a great lube for everything from leather to firearms if you can handle the residual odor that tends to linger. It's a little smelly, some folks hate it and others, like myself, get used to it and actually grow to enjoy it. It's not the least expensive lube on the market but it's tried and true. Are there better products on the market? Sure, but most of them are geared towards a specific use and only good for that. Ballistol has a wide range of applications and it's also carcinogen free and skin safe which makes it a superior product in my humble and unsolicited opinion. I use it primarily for firearms lubrication, it leaves an almost grease like film when applied generously which keeps moving parts from wearing prematurely. I'll also douse a ripcord with it and run it through the barrel before and after shooting to help prolong the life of it as well.

I "discovered" Ballistol over 20 years and have used it ever since on everything from cleaning and maintaining firearms, to lubricating anything metal like door hinges, locks, socket wrenches, pliers, tools... you name it. Great product. Even can be used on wood and leather as a protectant. This product and RemOil are my "go to" lubricants.

Balistol is great! Does everything from bore cleaning to leather preserve

This product had been recommended to me to clean plastic screwdriver handles. Does an okay job of this. I suspect it does a great job for what it was intended to do.

After using Ballistol for a number of years with excellent results I found that the aerosol propellant would quick working and I would still have 1/2 a can left. Total waste....so when I saw this in liquid form and simply put it into a small spray bottle it works like a charm with no waste !! Would definitely purchase again and highly recommend the product in this form.++

most products that do more than one thing do them all poorly. ballistol really does it all. this is a great lube, a powerful (if somewhat slow) powder dissolver, and a long last protectant. in my testing, it dissolves powder residue as well as hoppes 9 and just slightly less well than clp but takes a little more time than either (about a minute). on the other hand, its a better lube than hoppes oil or clp and a better storage protector too so thats why its my choice. there are obviously newer flashier things out there with real operators on the label and "ZX-799!!!11!" type names but there's a few reasons why ballistol is still relevant. first of all, all of those products are fatal if swallowed. now you probably don't go around drinking gun cleaner, but if you had a choice to work with something poisonous or something thats so harmless you can ingest it, which would you pick? also, don't be fooled into thinking that your super high tech AR, glock, etc needs something with molecular bonding power and atomic level lubrication ability. you know what product was on the shelf half a century ago when your AR was designed? Ballistol. Know what products didn't exist back then? most of everything else. that this product also is safe for wood, plastic, and can replace wd-40 is all just bonus.
