I have heard the same thing. Apparently it is good for lubing gears, supposed to work a lot like that white spray on lithium grease... very sticky.
Check it out John, I am sure you could come up with 100 uses for that stuff. :smart:

The oil does tend to stiffen up in the colder weather, have to bring it in to warm up. Check to see if it's a vegetable based or petro based oil as they are jumping up and down over here. About it is a cancer causing oil, and everybody should use a biodegradable blend.
Don't really have any other suggestions, I'm still working on a gallon I have had for 12 years. I do know that they suggest straight food grade oils if you are cutting wood to use in a smoker/BBQ pit to smoke meat.
Just don't use it to lube hinges where it gets cold neighbor did years ago on his door hinges, just before a cold snap. Door acted like it was stuck, his wife came over and wanted an axe and shotgun to get in the house and wait till he got home so she could kill him! :lol: :lol: Kerosene cuts it good.

great for bearings slow turning ones and faster ones too.. a swivel chair that has one of those screw type thingys....door hinges provided you can get them apart..
any place that reg oil wont stay long.... its great for collecting dust too just dab some on something and watch it go......lube for your drill gears any type of gears it would work great on.... change gears for smaller lathes or bigger lathes......bicycle chains bearings...... ect ect ect ect

Glen,
There is absolutely no info on it at all except for what it is, made in the UK and is covered in the Black & Decker logo.
Everyone else, many thanks for the suggestions, I think I will try it on my change gears, as I am running out gear grease.
Ralph, grab your hat as well, it's cold outside, and Stew, you can have a bottle of it to try next time you are around.
