Cannon Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 My question is simple. How to prevent rust from our grippers? And if we already have a rust how to clean the gripper?

Bearcat 74 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I use gun oil and a rag. If rust has built up put a coat of oil on the spring and take a brush, I have used a real stiff tooth brush, or some light steel wool and scrub. I oil and clean my grippers about once a month if they are just sitting around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So no, it is not water based Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIKERICH Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 yes it is a water displacement agent. i use it on my motorcycle drive chain. it leaves a slight film which is a rust inhibitor which has to be reapplied in a timely fashion depending on its application.
