Cleaning and maintaining ratchet binders, what do you use?

Alright alright alright... I'm giving myself a Christmas gift today. Got some Sea Foam and experiment with it. I will still stow my binders closed in the side box.

 

Buy at least 2, need to apply every use

 

Make it yourself. All you need is a zerk, tap with the same thread as the zerk, and the proper drill bit for the tap. Drill the hole, thread the hole, insert the zerk.

 

I have an open headache rack my snap binders seize at the ball/socket area. Then they don’t rotate to the direction u need. I have used PB blaster and I have been trying new ideas. Right now all of them have white lithium grease sprayed into those rust/seize areas. I’ll update on how that works.

 

10 4... To bad i got company equipment or id do it along time ago

 

JB 80 is by far better than pb blaster. They have a chain lube that is great for binders The only problem I have with Amsoil HD MP is that it is really stiff, almost like wax.

 

Just a bit of WD40 now and then as in once a year. Otherwise they ride in the box. Company HQ shop supplies new ones on swap.

 

You still drive? I thought you retired.

Also, WD40 is more of a solvent than a lubricant.

 

Ah yes the old "Why should I take care of equipment I didn't pay for?" Just turn them in to the company and get new ones. #### the guy who has to pay for them.

 

Howd that go?
