How to oil an air tool

Regularly lubricating your air tools is important to maximising their lifespan. The air tool oil ensures internal moving parts don’t excessively wear on each other. 

To lubricate your air tool, simply add a few drops of air tool oil into the air inlet on the tool before each use. Cycle the tool quickly to let the oil run through the internals of the tool, and you’re good to go.

You can also attach an inline oiler which is a good solution for workshops where a lot of air tools are in use, but this will lead to oil residue in your hoses which means you’ll need to switch the hoses out and remove the inline oiler when you want a supply of clean air.

Can you substitute air tool oil?

Air tool oil is specifically designed for use in pneumatic tools and helps protect against corrosion while reducing friction on internal components.

This is a mineral-based, low viscosity oil and should not be substituted for motor oil or other oils that may contain solvents or detergents that can damage the internals of your pneumatic tools.
