I have always been told to oil the tools first thing in the morning,and that's it.
I have been seeing ppl lube at the end of the day, and they say the oil "soaks into the metal" and makes it all last longer.
This is maintnance for daily use, not like when you only use the impact once a week or something, and in a shop...th humidity does get high durring the summer, but not like tools bein carried in a tool box in the trunk of your car or something...
How do you oil your tools, and which would be better, oil first, or oil last?
