CRC Dry Graphite Lube, 10 oz Aerosol Can, Black

Great for our smaller pad locks.

Very horrible... Product cap broken and half spray already leaked... Can't replace due to Amazon policy

This product applies like a spray paint, and is best used on a surface that is accessable, like a gear face. It is not designed to enter cracks and crevices like a spray on oil. The graphite film dries hard and very fast and does not come off easily, I tried to remove the overspray with carburator cleaner and it would not come off. I used it to lubricate the steering gear of a riding lawnmower that had open access to the gears and access to the sliding parts. It is not good for lubricating surfaces that need a long time to penetrate, like a ball joint or the interior of a bicycle chain. It dries much to fast to penetrate that type of mechanism. So if you can access the surface you need lubricated, it is perfect. If you need a WD40 type lubricant that will penetrate, this product will not work well. I also used it on the rubber grommets that hold the sway bar on my car, they were squeeking. But I had to unbolt the grommet and spray the inside of the grommet and the sway bar to make it work (it completely stopped the squeeking). Without disassembly the graphite spray did not work, it dried before it could lubricate the grommet. So again, if you can get to the surfaces that will make contact, this product will apply like a paint and do a great job. If you cannot access the surfaces, use a general purpose oil, penetrating oil, or WD40.

Works well on bearings

It is good, but don't lasts very much the effect.
