HOW THE SHIT DO I GET IT TO STOP BLEEDING

How/when does this stop? It looks like this image but just keeps gushing out. Then it slows, then I wipe it, and more comes out!
take your pills
Asked a serious question, get some bot comment.
Typical weekend PrepHole.

no, no you didn't
>notools
how would a pliers not rust if it didn't have oil coming out?
I know I have some that seem to have quality chrome but they all stay wet with oil
You have discovered the pliers of infinite oil
I'd like to talk to you about your pliers, thank you.
This is my boy, H.W.
We're in the oil business, and I've come to help you.
I would like to listen to what you have to say. This oil needs a good name behind it.
Op here,
How the frick did you know what it were? They the oilin' journyem'n
Oil the nameplate too.
Can't be too safe, need more oil.
Heat the pliers up to thin the oil
And next time post any inquiries you have in the stupid question thread
>cleaning tools
>panic attack over small amount of oil
Jesus christ your dad failed you
Are half the threads on this board blatant bait?
I think it's one anon doing them
How exactly is this bait?
Im not OP, but have you never actually oiled up a pivot on a solid joint pair of pliers.
It does seem to leak oil forever, and the shit does come out as black. Not sure if its grease or remnants of the manufacturing process or what.
But they all do it, and they all seem to stay wet way longer than you would think.
Keep flushing with a solvent and working them until the black shit quits coming out. joint should be smooth as silk after that.
Im not sure its really worth the effort, OP just needs to ignore it and understand its pretty normal operating procedure with most pliers.
Shit doesnt ever need oiled unless you fricked it up anyways
>Shit doesnt ever need oiled unless you fricked it up anyways
That is true. I've bought back some pretty fricked up pliers from extremely rusty and frozen up to usable condition though. Those definitely needed some oil. Sometimes you'll end up with some in boxes of random tools from auctions, or find a pair of pliers on the ground that has been lost for years.
If oil is oozing out than shit has a harder time getting in. It's just one of those little things that you have to watch out for if using them on anything that could stain.
Keep a piece of kitchen roll or a rag handy if it's an issue
Throw your pliers hard onto concrete, then throw them into a very fine siltlike sand. Work them back and forth a few dozen times. No oil. Will last for decades.
T. Salty electrician taught this by a journeyman in 2011. Been using the same kleins since
Resist your autistic urges and ignore the tiny bit of oil. how would this even bother you in a realistic scenario, is your toolbox made of white marble or something
>infinite oil
profit?
>oiling pliers
Do you not just spray it with dubyadee?
WD-40 is not a lubricant, Black personface.
anything that reduces friction is a lubricant even spit when I slip me willy up your arse
This guy dips his pliers in water because its a lubricant
*SQUEAK *SQUEAK *SQUEAK *SQUEAK
what i cant hear you over my fine tools
*SQUEAK *SQUEAK *SQUEAK *SQUEAK
I work on a crab boat and we literally do this. It works in a pinch
Haha, pinch
>pinch
I see what you did there
>WD-40 is not a lubricant
For this application, WD-40 is fine. It's a very thin oil which won't lubricate a spinning shaft or bushing worth a damn. But it does lubricate and displace water. Which is good for tools.
>For this application, WD-40 is fine.
Its only "fine" if you use it as a solvent and then go back after its dry and put an oil in there.
>As long as something keeps the pivot point from rusting,
WD40 is going to dry within the hour and leave a gritty white film, as per its actual use.
>Why would you need a proper lubricant for such little movement?
It really is a wonder, why would you need a lubricant on metal to metal bearing surfaces.
I use WD on my rebar pliers and they stay perfectly smooth until the next time I have them in my pouch while it pisses rain. Then I just spray again the day after
You're really overthinking this
My negus, they're just pliers. As long as something keeps the pivot point from rusting, they're good as new. Why would you need a proper lubricant for such little movement?
Are you trying to use the pliers as a shakeweight?
Put it in a vacuum chamber. Pretty schizo concern tho.
air duster, spray it where you put the arrow
you're welcome for giving a real answer
The reason it is black is because the oil is working out all the filth that has worked into there and all the metal dust created by friction from the joint, you did not actually get it clean. It will stop seeping when either the oil or filth runs out. All the filth allows the joint to hold onto more oil than it needs, add more oil and keep working it until it runs out clean and then remove excess and it should quit seeping out pretty quick.
heat it until the oil boils off
