What do all these cans even do!?!? Our shops are full of chemicals. They clean, lubricate, grease, degrease and perform hundreds of other functions. But how do you know that you’re using the right tool for the job?

I thought the new hotness was using Screw Loose on everything as a degreaser. That way you don't have to lubricate it either.

CRC was running Facebook contests where they would give away cases of BrakeKleen. I won just before Christmas last year and The Wife said I looked like the father in A Christmas Story unpacking his leg lamp. I use it for everything though I find in my old age it stings a bit when I clean out cuts with it now.

See everyone this evening at 9 p.m Eastern on Facebook, YouTube and, yes, the message board.

I know a guy who can get you the right chemicals. You just have to decide whether to smoke them or bake them into brownies.

It's doing the same on Facebook but it's a little better than YouTube.

JG being larger than life stretched out on my tv isn't quite as scary as I thought.

That was educational. And made my shopping list a bit longer. I'm in the need for an electronics spray, but that dielectric grease looks like something I need on my shelf too.

Thanks again for putting this up for all of us. Btw, I hear the YouTube is a big fan of donkeys
