I found a squeaky door so I got the oil and fixed it… Then did every door I could before my wife caught me.

Am I alone here? It’s so satisfying to just glide open!

Damn straight I am. It’s the little things you have to enjoy!

    This lubricant is the best! I use it for everything, from my gate to my skateboard bearings (10+ year old bearings still run great, no issues and I’ve checked the cages).

      It may be good for low speed applications like skateboard bearings but it’s not good for higher speed such as fan bearings. I tried using it with a fan and it seized up due to the heat. Once I cleaned it all up I used some motor oil instead. The fan has worked great ever since!

        That’s good advice I didn’t think of, since I’m only really used to applying it to low-speed applications (as you said).

        I’ll be keeping this in mind, since I’m sure I’ll need to lubricate my fans at some point and may have made a mistake down the line! Thanks a bunch.
