Larry, I have been looking for this product since your post. Today I called the manufacturer to try and locate a local dealer. When I told him what I wanted to lubricate, air nailers and staplers, he informed me that it is not recommended for nailers or riveters. He said that they have too many small parts and o-rings that the product will destroy. I think he said that the product is air tool conditioner and is designed for the air wrenches. There is actually a warning on the product not to use in nailers.

Not certain which list this came from so I will post to both of them. A question was posed regarding air tool lubrication. I found a product put out by PB-Blaster that is an air tool oil that does a really nice job. What makes it really attractive is that it comes in a spray can and is very easy to shoot a 1/2 second spray into the amflow connector just before you hook the hose up. The other thing you might consider if you are using your air tools in an extremely clean environment; around painted surfaces, surfaces that are about to be painted or around vehicle upholstery you might consider an inline oiler that hooks directly to your compressor and releases a very small measured amount of oil into the air flow. The one I have has a diverter valve on it so that you can select oil or shop air. If I am working around something that I don't want to run the risk of getting any oil residue on I will run the tool in oil mode until I am ready to get inside the car and then simply switch it to shop air for the time I am working in that environment. Either way you choose to go keep those tools lubricated and they will probably out last you. I have a Snap-on IM-51 1/2" drive short shank impact wrench I bought in 1985 and it will still hit an honest 300LBS on the torque meter using 110 LBS of air pressure.
