What is the best lubricant for Scissor Jacks. I was going to use WD-40 but realized that dirt and dust might stick to the screw on the jacks.

Thank you

I prefer motorcycle chain lube. Works great for us.

I use "Dupont" Teflon Multi-Use lubricant. Sprays on wet and dries within minutes. Sold in Lowe's and Home Depot.

As above, I have a spray can of Remington RemOil, which is Dupont teflon...drys on contact, provides a long lasting film of lubricant, does not attract or hold dirt and debris! Gun Shops. (It also works great on guns! Who knew!)

I use Belray white chain lube. Goes on thin and penetrates, then dries to a waxy, non-tacky grease film. Available at your local bike shop.

Hi All'

I use a Dry-Lube Spray on our Sizzor Jacks. As a mattert of fact, its the same Spray that I use on our Teflon Disk for our 5er. Dirt and dust don't stick to it. Plus it won't rust. Good Luck. Happy Camping. Dan & Jill
