Swarfega Duck Oil Multi-Purpose Lubricant, Rust Protector, Releases Rusty Bolts, Light Degreaser, Silicone Free, 5L Can

I seem to get through the 500ml spray cans of Duck Oil far too quickly for my liking, so I opted for this 5 litre can.I have decanted some of the contents into two 500ml Oiler Cans and resealed the original can.I have used Duck Oil for a few years now, with no issues to date and this is the same quality and viscosity as always.I much prefer Duck Oil to WD40, it penetrates the same, lubricates for longer and is my 'all round' oil.My oiler cans have flexible nozzles which enable me to apply the oil in the same manner as the spray cans.

I switched to this oil when a well known competitor replaced its metal tins with badly designed plastic ones which are notorious for leaking, and I’m happy I did.You used to be certain of finding a tin of the above mentioned competitor’s oil in almost all old workshops and garages but not any more. They made the daft mistake of forcing plastic containers onto their customers and are now paying the price as customers switch to better alternatives of which Duck Oil is undoubtedly one of the best.Duck is a great oil. Easy to use and works very well whether for general lubrication or as a penetrating oil.I decant a bit into a spray bottle and use that as I can control the spray focus and spread more easily.Now I’ve switched to Duck oil I’ll not be switching back!

Duck oil has been around for ages. AA patrol men used it in the 1970s. It is basically the same as WD40 and usually cheaper. It is a very thin light oil that is good for stopping tools rusting or as a penetrating oil. A 5L tin used with a plastic spray bottle works out way cheaper than aerosol cans of this or WD40.

Very good value

Found this to donthe job jist perfectly and very good price

Sprayed this underneath my car to help against rust and is doing a great job.

It's handy to have around for various purposes, such as cleaning tools and giving them a bit of protection. I also use it [in combination with PlusGas for helping free up seized nuts'n'bolts and other parts.Someone else mentioned its nice smell. I don't find the whiff particularly pleasant—It's not a patch on GT85 which is so fragrant you could dab it behind your ears before a night out—but it's not quite as retch-inducing as gear oil.As to its protective properties: well, I don't think they're anything to write home about. Some reviewers have claimed it protects metal from rusting for long periods of time. I find it's OK for giving tools a wipe down at the end of the day, if you're doing it fairly regularly. But I coated a horseshoe in it, which I hung above our front door, and it was rusted up again inside a couple of weeks.So, in summary, it's a decent multi-purpose thin oil. But don't expect it to perform miracles... or help you pull with its perfume.

Until last week I'd dismissed Duck Oil as "just another brand claiming to be the best." But at the suggestion of a local engineer, I tried it and found it in a league of its own.As part of my job I am responsible for overseeing a commercial vehicle workshop and we'd always used a different brand, but not now. I honestly have never seen anything like this before. I have tried this objectively- one vehicle, 12 bolts holding in a radiator- 3 with Duck Oil and the other 9 split between our usual brand and a couple of others I found. The Duck Oil coated bolts came out much, much easier.
