Garden tool oil, without petrochemicals!
Slip works, and has the approval of Adam Greenman of UK garden tool manufacturer Greenman Tools. "Slip eco lube works to prevent rust, reduce friction and to help maintain our tools."
Slip Eco Lube was launched with a Kickstarter Campaign at Ecobuild last year and the company has successfully sold hundreds of bottles already. Unlike petrochemical spray lubes, Slip eco lube is skin safe It has is a unique blend of plant extracts sticky enough to cling to metal, but designed not to attract excess dirt. It's also water resistant, protecting metal tools from moisture and therefore rust.
Slip eco lube prevents rust, coating garden tools in a protective film. Slip also reduces friction, making tools feel lighter and easier to use.
"Slip eco lube works. It makes tools easier to use, yet won't harm your skin, pollute your garden, or the environment like petrochemical oils can" - Simon Nash, developer of Slip Eco Lube.
One of the greatest demonstrations of Slip eco lube is on rusty, stiff, old garden tools. Slip eco lube can be used to completely rejuvenate rust damaged, aged garden shears. Applying Slip, then opening and closing a number of times brings old sheers and secateurs back to life.
Slip eco lube even nourishes wood handles on garden tools, bringing dry wood back with a dark appearance and smooth feel. Garden shed bolts, door hinges and padlocks also benefit from Slip eco lube.
Slip Eco Lube is proudly made in the Great Britain, and the next production run will use recycled (not just recyclable) plastic bottles – made from the contents of British recycling bins.
