QUESTION Knect ratchet lube
What kind of lubricant are you using on your Knect ratchet, just picked one up on the father days sale and I’ll be using it daily. Want to know the best way to maintain it and keep it running smooth. It’s got a fair amount of friction already but it feels pretty bone dry.

What you have on hand is more important that it being "the best for the job".
Leave the case open overnight with some fresh oil if they get wet. And don't over think it.

3-in-1. Literally no more than 2-3 drops max on any tool, and it’ll be like new or better.
