I had to bring my kit home today and noticed that the OG Surge is in a terrible state  ::) :twak:

I'm back to work on Monday and need to give it some TLC. Does anyone have some tips for cleaning etc.  :dunno:
I don't have the tools to take it apart, nor the ability to reassemble it  :surrender:

Your expert advice and wisdom is appreciated  :hatsoff: :cheers:

You can open most of the tools up and run it through a dish washing cycle if you have a dishwasher :salute: If not then run hot water un a sink with washing up liquid, agitate the water and let it soak. Repeat the process and scrub it with a toothbrush this go round  :tu: after that, dry it and take some compressed air (canned or air compressor) and get all the water out then lube it back up :cheers:

You don't have to follow the first step of the soak but it does deep clean it a little more with the soak :tu:

I'll whack it in the dishwasher tomorrow and go and buy a "can of air"  :rofl:

Any favoured lube (I said favoured, not flavoured in case "you know who turns up?)  :whistle:

Just some 3 in 1 oil. The dry lube type is good as it seems wax based and makes the whole tool feel silky smooth :like: but any type of oil will work :cheers:

I followed your advice Poncho and stuck the Surge through the dishwasher  ;)

Result: I don't think it's ever been that clean  :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh (thanks for the tip  :tu: )

I couldn't get the 3 in 1 dry lube so I had to use the normal stuff  ::)

The Spartan helped open the oil and then kept the Surge company in the sun  :D

Glad it worked :salute: The oil will keep any residual water left in from forming rust but the sun bathing will help get all the moisture out even better :like:

I've not been on here for a few weeks as work is getting rather chaotic at Heathrow (red list terminals and a distinct lack of staff  ::) )

Whilst at work I gave the OG Surge a sharpening and then it hung out with some friends in the tool room  :tu:

Stay safe out there awl... :salute:

Cheers Poncho  :cheers: I'd like to hope it'll calm down but, I suspect the opposite  :td:

I'm sure your belt/pocket was grateful for the rest (at least mine is in a Tac' Vest  :dunno: )

And the limb restraints  ;)

If I have to bring my kit home, it ALL has to come home. It's usually because I'm changing work location  :D

Afternoon awl. I'm not carrying the Surge today as I'm using the OHT for the Daredevil challenge  ;)

However, I collected my new B/O Surge yesterday and it is REALLY stiff (a bit like my joints these days  ::) )

I recently followed advice from Poncho about cleaning my OG S/S Surge and it worked a treat ( :cheers: Poncho)

Question is; does the B/O stuff hold up in a dishwasher or should I hand wash and use some dry lube  :dunno:

As ever your collective wisdom is appreciated  :salute:

Never ran a BO tool through the dishwasher :think:

Glad it worked with the SS one though :woohoo: I would just use a rag and wipe the tool down and then use dry lube :tu:

:cheers: I was thinking the same  :think: I have removed as much of the standard shipping lube as possible  :tu:

However, I wasn't sure if another coating of dry lube would work, without removing the first  :dunno:
