I use it on all my guns, knives. Great stuff and non-toxic. It's good for mosquito repellent, safe for skin, cuts, abrasions.
I mix Ballistol Universal with water at a 1 part oil/5 parts water analogy. It provides a finer sharper edge on my knives and saves the stones from wearing out fast. It mixes with water in a second and becomes white as milk!
It's easy to apply, just drop one drop of Ballistol and 5 drops of water on the stone and mix them with your finger. It only takes 1 or 2 seconds, to mix it! It's great for maintaining axes too! For guns, I would choose their more specilized Ballistol oils, instead of the Universal. They also make a specilized honing oil, for sharpening knives, but the Universal Ballistol, also works fine!!
My dad worked as a technician and had his personal workshop in our basement.
Every time I open my bottle of Ballistol nowadays, to use it for whatever purpose, I smell on it, close my eyes and then I am in my old man's workshop again for a few moments in my mind.
RIP Papa. ; _ ;
Thanks for sharing those wonderful memories.
That was beautiful
Reading your story brings tears to my eyes. I often think of my dad the same way.
I wish i had dad like that.
Beautiful memories brother God bless hope your doing okay 👌
don't ever stop making this, i can't go without it.
This it's nonsense,we all know that it is made of sweat from the back of Hickok45
Omg!! 🤣🤣🤣🇺🇲🇺🇲
My fucking dead!
HAHAHAAAA!!
Wonderful stuff, don't ever stop making Ballistol, my guns love it!!
I use Ballistol to clean my guitar and my strings on my electric,acoustic guitars , excellent stuff !!!!
Me too! Also a drop in the potentiometers cleans and lubes them as well. No more crackling in the amp's controls either.
Of course, my weapons are also spotless too!
I love this stuff. I have a very large and expensive collection of historical firearms and this is what I use to preserve them. Twice a year I bring them all out of the safes and give them a Ballistol wipe down and haven't seen a speck of rust since. I did the same before with other gun oils (including Rem Oil and regular CLP as well as the special long-term CLP) and was still getting rust on some guns but ZERO once I started using Ballistol.
Rem Oil is notoriously underwhelming.
I used a can of REM oil. Worst product for guns I ever tried.
Dam, i never knew BALLISTOL had multiple uses. I'm quite impressed.
I used Ballistol for maintenance on my handpan (metal instrument). I read alot about special handpan oils but they were expensive and so hard to get. Then I found Ballistol. Since it’s not harmful for your skin it’s perfect. My handpan now looks like new again thanks to Ballistol! I will for sure buy this product again! Highly recommend!
Great as a furniture polish and cleaner, too.
I use this stuff for simple mechanical camera maintenance - not the best for the job, but good enough for a hobbyist to get an old escapement in a shutter system moving again :)
its a really nice protectant as well as a cleaner for firearms!
I use it as deodorant
I first learned about this product at the Great Outdoor Show in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania USA. OUTSTANDING firearm care product!! The only chemical I use on my rifles and pistols!!
Stephen Maurer Clean your battery terminals in your cars then coat with Ballistol. Never have corrosion again. You can just spray them clean with non clorinated brake cleaner if you don't want to remove the terminals. Make sure your car will not lose its radio programming if you disconnect your battery. You will need your radios code to make it work again.
Yes... I have used this product on battery terminals!! I have also used this on a nasty cut while in fishing camp up in Ontario. Ballistol works like Neosporin and helps cuts heal fast.
Stephen Maurer . I also rub the top of my cars serpentine belt to keep it in new conditon. Spray it on electrical wiring for protection. Look up one hundred ways to use Ballistol.
Even BRAKE OIL gives that iodine “ burning sensation “ and cures wounds quickly.👍🧐
I found the light and converted to Ballistol recently
I can't believe I forgot about this product, great stuff
Great product
Love this stuff!!!
Beatiful 👍
Hickok45 turned me on to this outstanding stuff for my Glocks and Ar15s!! Best ALL around stuff on the planet for maintaining firearms!
Thanks for this compliment, William!
What more can you ask og 1 product? I got everything the sell and use only ballistol for my weapons and everything Else, got my silencer soaked in The cleaner as we speak. so simple and good!
Any difference in the green can vs the white universal stuff? Or is it all the same? Looking to use this to my screwdrivers, pliers etc to clean the handles and the metal.
Good product but in aerosol spray it makes me cough a little even with a tiny quantity. Weird.
My rifles are kinda smiling courtesy of ballistol ❤
Fun Fact: The Products are labeled differently but it's all classic Ballistol.
Really?
@@MrTangent its all the same oil ye
Sure thing. Self defence spray that just makes the perp shiny and smooth... :P
3:03 Lol... From harmless oil , to CS gas and pepper spray ....
Every home should have a supply, preferably two or rhree cans and and or which type you prefer. 😊
I have heard about this from Mark Bailey on youtube for bushcraft. I wish I had a sample.
Do you still need a sample? Greetings from Germany.
@@Klappenkarl i do?
@@timdurden5808 no problem. Where are you from?
I'm curious...why did the German military stop using Ballistol, and what did they replace it with?
Since the German imperial era, the entire military has used Ballistol Universal Oil. In the 1980s, there was a change in the requirements for oils in military tenders. Since then, the "normal" military no longer uses Ballistol Universalöl, but special units or task forces still do. These can buy Ballistol Universal Oil - and other of our weapon care products - without a tender and still use it today.
@@BALLISTOLKLEVER What did they replace it with, was the question?
@@MrTangent No need to be rude
@@Millie.1965 Wasn’t rude. They avoided the question. I assume because they don’t want to advertise a competitor. But see, I and Danny likely will not change CLPs. Ballistol is too good. But I was curious, too, what it was replaced with.
My guess is that they replaced it with something that all NATO countries use. CLP Breakfree possibly.
Hi i can use ballisttol to clean my bike shock absorber?
AnepuAnubis you can use it for everything
If you buy in the gallon size do you dilute it for filling spray bottles or as it is when first opened?
We produce the universal oil completely ourselves and we only buy the raw materials for it, which we process into the secret recipe.
@@BALLISTOLKLEVER that’s awesome ! So do I assume it is to be used by the customer straight or full strength from the large gallon size container or is it formulated as concentrate to be diluted by customers before the apply it to there project piece
No, Ballistol Universal Oil is not a concentrate, the user does not need to dilute the product. 🙂
"Hickock 45 here..."
Question: Ballistol is described as non-toxic, but is it food safe? I wanted to try removing rust on some cookware with it, but am unsure if it would linger and be unsafe. Also, is there a difference between the aerosol version and the liquid version besides a propellant? What is the propellant for the aerosol version?
Yes - it is food-safe, skin-compatible, entirely harmless and fully biodegradable. And also right is that the propellant is the only difference. Here you find, in addition, an overview from our website: ballistol.de/shop/en/products/all-things-mechanical/ballistol-multi-purpose-oil/
And what we use is propane-butane.
Have a good start into the year!

It does everything WD-40 claims it does, and more!
-Othias of C&Rsenal
Is this the same one sold in green bottles in USA?
Yes, it is! The only two differences are the place of filling and the external appearance 😎
BE & it is BALLISTOL 😳🤲🤲😛
I find it bizarre that this stuff is used on guns but also on horses and dogs.
bizarre, but - it works 👍
Is the American made version the exact same "recipe" as the German? I EPA/FDA rules don't allow the wide variety of uses German product laws allow so I was just curious.
Good question. But we assure you that the American cans have exactly the same recipe as the German and all other cans. The presentation and legal situation is visibly different, but there are no two different recipes.
@@BALLISTOLKLEVER With a knowledge that products for domestic markets are better i still've ordered ballistol products from germany instead of Poland :)

А почему такая древняя пекарня на 2:41 ?
This product comes from chuck noris Back..
I use it polish my rod
I use it as salad dressing when I run out of olive oil
Will Ballistol hurt my guns if it gets in between pressure points on the moving parts?
No
No
All I know is it makes my guns beautiful
I drink that stuff
Is this stuff real?
Yes
Yes but the pre-mix that you dilute with water is better.
Does Ballistol go bad?
No, never. :-) If you're a fan of the liquid Universal Oil: Always kept clean the bottle will be useable still by your grandchildren. But then you have to be veeery thrifty with your Ballistol Universal Oil ...
@@BALLISTOLKLEVER Ah okay. I've had the samee squirt bottle of Ballistol for about 2 years, the 16 fl oz ones last a while, and i didn't know if maybe it had gone bad. Thank you. I'll be buying some more, But on my other question does over oiling machines like a rifle cause harm to the rifle? I was thinking of putting some ballistol under the muzzle break of my rifle, but since the barrel flexes and bends i'm not sure if that would cause minor but over time harmful pressure on the threads.
We understand your word muzzle break as a muzzle flash brake. Our recommendation ist to apply Ballistol GunCer grease to the thread of the muzzle flash brake and screw the brake on.
We understand your described situation in such a way that the barrel expands due to temperature and therefore puts pressure on the thread because of the oil. However, this expansion is so small that no damage is caused to the gun.
Basically our tip on the amount of product (for the Universal Oil and everything else) is: Apply as little as possible, but as much as necessary.
PS: Note our informative Gun Care Guide: ballistol.de/shop/en/gun-care-guide
@@BALLISTOLKLEVER Light coating. Awesome, thank you all for the help, I will continue using Ballistol exclusively for my guns. I greatly appreciate all your help and advice.
Keep it real, most of us bought to clean our guns 😂😂😂😂
Well done! I'm posted information here: facebook.com/BallistolRussia
You guys are totally missing out on the sex lube industry. Get with it.
