Project Farm-CLP testing

This guy does some great product testing.

Yes he does. I think he does a really fair comparison of different tools and things. Before I buy tools, I usually go to his channel and see if he's reviewed them.

Very, very interesting. (In my best German/Crazy Scientist accent)

Breakfree CLP seems to do a fairly decent job all around. The Clenzoil, never heard of it, but good stuff according to the video. I wanted to see Weapon Shield included in the test. The big surprise: Frog Lube. Excellent at everything except cold flow.

Yep, been subscribed to Project Farm for a while.

Interesting tests. I would like to see Mobile One compared to those gun CLPs.....

Project Farm is always informative and entertaining.

The results of this comparison were somewhat surprising.

Not uncommon for him to expand on tests to include more products or test them in a new way.


Usually based on comments and if the video is popular enough to warrant a sequel.

I think the best take-away is that there is no perfect product for all conditions. Best lubricant may not be good for dusty environments. One that burns off may not be good for high volume of fire, etc.

I’d like to see them tested on some of the tougher carbon buildup you find on firearms. Spot in diesel exhaust doesn’t bake on quite like powder residue and carbon on the bolt and carrier of an AR.

good thing I use hoppes. Protection is overrated.

I have an uncle who still runs WD40 in everything he has. My grandpa did too. Not saying it is right, but he never has issues and I don't think he has ever cleaned anything. Almost makes me a believer in it. One thing I've learned from project farm is having any kind of lubrication (not spit) is better than nothing.

Isn’t his load test for automotive applications? I enjoy his videos but the kind of parts, the clearance they have, and the load on them play a part in what you use. Grease was never used in this test. No I don’t count frog lube as grease. I don’t know it’s heat and load rating.

I still wouldn’t be shy about using hoppes oil. Something that slides like a rail or carrier in a tube isn’t seeing the same load bearings would and on let’s say an ar15 bolt and barrel extension well that’s why material specs are around.

The guy does helpful testing but this is one that may not be accurate.

Yes, I would like to see the results of the bearing test if a light coat were applied as you would with a firearm, without the cup of lube to keep it constantly soaked.

Well, he was specifically testing “CLP” products, not necessarily the best lubricant for all applications. I don’t think inaccurate is very fitting since he didn’t say to use any product for any specific application. Just how the products tested stacked up in various tests.

I'm one of the ones who don't believe CLP is the way to go.
I think clean first, then lubricate. NOT use the same shit to do both.
I clean my guns, dry them, then lubricate them.

I ain't got time for "Ain't Nobody Got Time For That" ^
49 seconds was all I could stand.

 

[TipBledsoe]

So do we all agree that Breakfree CLP is clearly the winner?

 

[TipBledsoe]

Is anyone here using Lucas gun oil?

How about SAE30 engine oil or ATF?
