Swarfega Duck Oil

How many carabiners can this 4oz bottle clean and lube?  Let's do the math....

4 oz = 118 mL

50 drops per mL based on the 1.5 mL pipette (included with purchase)

Which means your 4 oz container has about 5,914 drops, divide that by 3 drops (average number to free up a carabiner) you can SAVE a minimum of 1,971 carabiners!

 

The Treemagineers recommend Swarfega Duck Oil:  

First off:  What kind of duck, you may be asking yourself? Good question.

The answer is, it really depends. You can simply go with American black ducks or green-winged teals. The discerning lubricator and connoisseur may prefer the red-breasted merganser or even a lesser scaup, depending on what effect he or she is aiming to achieve.

Righhhhht… so how do you get to the oil from there, you ask?

Well, I had a vision of big, burly Sumo wrestler-type men clad in loin cloths tramping on vats filled with aforementioned ducks in order to squeeze every last bit of oil out of them (ugh, as I am writing this I am realizing this is actually rather an off-putting thought).

In actual fact, Duck Oil is a lubricant manufactured by Swarfega, which is – to quote their blurb – a silicone-free, non-conductive, multi-purpose service spray. Exceptionally low surface tension means it can easily penetrate, lubricate and protect with no need to dismantle machinery and parts.
