What Kind of Oil Do You Need for Air Tools?
Most standard air tools use pneumatic tool oil for lubrication and to prevent internal rust. We recommend adding a few drops into the tool's air inlet before each use. For working in colder weather, a winter-grade formula can help keep your tools running smoothly. Always check your tool’s manual for any specific oil recommendations.
How Do You Help Prevent Your Tools from Rusting?
The two best ways to prevent rust are proper lubrication and moisture control. Oiling your tools before use is the most important step. It’s also a good habit to drain the water from your air compressor’s tank regularly, as this removes moisture that can otherwise travel through the hose and into your tools.
