Eezok has worked for me ever since I read the test years ago.I have killed quite a few bucks since with it the various rifles. I nver tboght it had a strong smell at all. Now Ballistol, that has a smell.

I'm like you, I've used Eezox since I 1st read it. Never noticed any foul smell. Kroil (while I use it a lot) is worse. I ordered 2 4 oz cans of Eezox and they were here in a few days.
I am hardheaded but I just don't understand why someone would use a known inferior product because they can get it at the auto parts store when Eezox is so easy to get

In this test of 46 different products, I'd take WD-40 Specialist Rust Inhibitor over Eezox or Hornady One Shot, in part because nearly every store in the country sells WD-40 products.

Brian...
I wish I would have bought stock in WD-40 years ago. You are right on with your statement. I mean.... How bad can it be ?? Notice ...nothing about the ingredients anywhere on the can. Further.... I'll wager there is a a can in 1 of 4 garages nation wide. Kind of like something else made right here in Racine, WI. Called... DC 99, but for a different purpose, and that is... Removing grease ! It literally jumps off when applied, and rinsed off with a hose . Sold by DW Davies Co. No, they are not my employer...! , but I am fortunate to live here, ( if for no other reasons ) because of Lake Michigan, no tornadoes, and DC. 99. Getting back to the "oil" topic...we will get many opinions on this ...

Essox does not smell foul too me and Ballistol has a mild smell of licorice, too me. Use them a lot, but will be adding some of the WD40 special.

Great choice Bill. Moreover... It does what you WANT it to do... for most applications. ! And... it can't cost more than a $5.00 bill ...

Joe, to be clear, the product that did so well in that test wasn't venerable WD-40, it was a specialty rust preventative formulation in the same family of products.

Brian is probably referring to the standard WD40 and not picking up on the report that this WD40 is the special make and not the standard one. ESSOX is and has been great for me, but this report and the results sure, too me, shows I should add the special blend of WD40 to the gun room.

You've got our names mixed up, unless there are two Brians posting here.

SEM = Sunny's Electric Marine Corrosion X three thumbs up, Just not on my guns, For the last 25 years the only anti corrosion product we use in the shop, Just wish they would not have added such a strong oderizer and kept the pump up bottles then it was not bad on the lingering odor, In the aerosol cans once the butane propellant evaporates no longer flammable real important for me, most boat owners DONT read warning labels, It will penetrate rust very well just given it it's time to work and will prevent all but extreme salt water and battery acid corrosion issues again boat owners need to read, On my guns I use Tetra's Light Cleaner Lube no strong smell in the house works very well and in the pump spray (well spritz) no propellant to inhale it does dry to an extant unlike Corrosion x, They have added CLP to the Tetra cleaner it I think is what remains not quite dry. It also does a great job on removing carbon in and out of the bore

I have found CorrosionX to be an excellent all around product. It doesn't freeze either, which is a big deal on my hunting guns. BTW GREAT avitar! We can only wish that it would come true.

Brian,
I do understand that. Forgive me if I insinuated otherwise. That was not my intention. In truth... I simply had to mention a product that has been here for so long , and is capable of doing so much. There has been so much written about new "wonder oils" lately that there seems to be no end to it. Some of us have been shooting BR for many years, and I do not recall anyone ever saying to me... "Gee, I wish someone would come out with an oil or grease that would make my firearm perform better "! The HOF-ers in Bench Rest did just fine with what they used, ( and perhaps) still do) with what they used to get those HOF points. I am not against progress, but to what point ?
 
Does anyone use or have you tried QMaxx? I am amazed at what it does, does have some odor, but not many products don't.
 
Hornady also leaves a dry, low friction lubrication which performs well in very cold weather. Excellent multi purpose clp spray for tight tolerance devices.
 
I don't know why it is so hard for people to understand that WD-40 is a WATER DISPLACEMENT (WD, getit?) liquid meant to remove water from electrical components. As a teenager I was handed a can of it to restart cars that got their distributors flooded at the local car wash where I worked. It was never meant to be a lubricant nor does it claim to be! Its water dispalcement properties is why it performs relatively well in corrosion tests, BUT it will harden to a varnish like substance over time and gum up a mechanical movement.
