What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

i haven't used it since the 1970s .. i use good 'ol stinky fuel-oil as a penetrant and as a soak .. And yes i still have an old made-in-usa thumb-pump oil can with long flex spout for those hard-to-get-at precise targets .. I never run out of aerosol pressure this way

Good stuff! Yard sales here and there pop those old beauties up now and then. But hard to find for sure now with the world done all gone to plastic like it has.

There's also a shop in Nevada that sells old European military surplus, and they have product like that also now and then (usually old Czech or Swiss surplus).

Deutsche Optik I think is what they're called.

New cable arrived and it's a very good quality cable from the feel of it.

Does anyone here recommend lubing the cable up with cable lube before installing it? Doesn't seem like it has that much lube on it from the factory...
