Hedge cutter oiling

Afternoon 

what does everyone use for oiling up hedge cutter blades??

I use 3 in 1 spray, a friend of mine uses chainsaw oil in an oil can with the little lever and sprout, we were working together yesterday and was thinking the consistency of it seems to work. What are you thoughts on that??

  • I use a combination of 3-in-1 oil and WD40 spray. Use them both daily and has always worked well for me.

  • I've usually got a can of wb40 type stuff or engine oil in a can with a spout, both do the job. Can't really say I notice a difference between them. 

  • When I worked for the council many years back, no-one ever used any lubricant on the hedgecutter blades. When I think of the hammering those machines had, there was never any problem attributable to this lack of lubrication...... the blades were only ever replaced when they'd been sharpened so many times, there was no meat left on them. When you think about it, the blades are only lightly incontact with each other and the sap must have some lubricating effect.

  • old engin oil and a cheep paint brush for the end of the day maintainance carry a spray can of oil if it wants doing in the day
