CRC Dry Graphite Lube 03094 – 10 Wt. Oz, Dry Film Lubricant & Lucky Line Graphite Dry Lock Lubricant Powder, 4.5 Grams (9501), Black and White

We'll see how long it past, but initial impressions are very good. We have a rack in our oven that has rollers so it can be pulled part way out and pushed back it. The rollers were sticking so it wouldn't move. A couple of small sprays of this and suddenly it works like new. I can slide it in and out with one finger. Since it's good up to 850°F it should work well for a long time.

Firstly, electricity flows through graphite, so this is not durable for things like pressure switches (lithium grease is great for lubrication near electronics).Secondly, graphite makes a big mess, so it lasts a long time, but it’s not ideal to use it just anywhere.This is my lubricant of choice on my reel mower blade. Cuts quieter and better and reduces the chances of anything clinging to the blade or bed knife.Graphite is also my lubricant of choice for locks.

It worked incredible to lube the shelves in my oven. The wire shelves in my expensive oven have never moved freely. I sprayed this on the guides in the oven and they slide like butter.

I use this on threaded copper pipe fittings that need to be screwed and unscrewed repeatedly. With a lot of care, I can spray and twist and wait to dry and repeat until an entire set of threads is a uniform graphite black. The coating is quite durable, and won't come off without vigorous scrubbing with an alcohol-soaked rag (water doesn't do much). All of this is very positive. It's a pain in the butt to do though, firstly because the solids content is low (so you have to spray repeatedly to get a good coating), and secondly (most importantly) because the can DOES NOT COME WITH A STRAW! Nor can it fit a straw from another aerosol can. So in addition to getting a wonderful coating of graphite on the threads, it also goes on my hands, the table, other parts of the pipe, etc.Given that it is such a pain to apply, why four stars? All the other graphite coatings I have tried are worse. Slide-rite graphite lube is kind of greasy when it dries and doesn't stay on as well. Slip Plate Black Ice is real crap. Even after shaking vigorously for several minutes, the can still sprays mostly lubricant for several sprays. Then, it re-dissolves any previous layers, which means the place you spray it on becomes free and clear of any graphite. And, it wipes of cleanly with a dry rag after it dries (whereas CRC requires an alcohol solvent to remove). So, Slip Plate lacks any durability at all.If anyone from CRC is reading this, I would give your product 5 stars if you would make it less messy to apply!

as expected

I'm very happy with this product.

This product is fantastic! Works better than messy grease. Lasts a long time as well. Will be purchasing more.

Makes a huge mess and sprays like spray paint. I didn't realize it wouldn't come with a nozzle connector to direct the spray where you want it. I wouldn't recommended for door locks
