Shop Chemicals and Lubricants by Type

Cutting, Drilling and Tapping Lubricants

Find lubricants for approved drilling, cutting, tapping, threading, and metalworking applications.

Slim’s inventory includes:

  • Lenox Protool cutting lubricant
  • Relton Rapid Tap cutting fluid
  • Relton KUT lubricating wax sticks

A suitable cutting product may help control friction and heat, improve chip removal, support surface quality, and reduce unnecessary wear on approved tools.

The correct product depends on the material, operation, cutting tool, speed, application method, and manufacturer requirements. A fluid intended for one metal or operation may not be appropriate for another.

Pneumatic-Tool Oil

Pneumatic nailers, staplers, and other air tools may require oil according to the equipment manufacturer’s maintenance instructions.

Slim’s inventory includes air-tool oils from Relton and Metabo HPT.

Before purchasing, confirm:

  • Tool manufacturer and model
  • Whether the tool requires routine oiling
  • Recommended oil type
  • Application frequency
  • Required amount
  • Air-system compatibility

Some pneumatic tools are designed to operate without routine oiling or have different maintenance requirements. Follow the tool manufacturer’s instructions rather than applying a general-purpose oil automatically.

Worm-Drive Saw Oil

Slim’s inventory includes SKILSAW worm-drive oil for approved saw-maintenance applications.

Worm-drive saws may require a specific lubricant and maintenance procedure. Before purchasing oil, confirm the saw manufacturer, model number, required specification, fill procedure, and service interval.

Do not substitute automotive, pneumatic-tool, or general-purpose oil unless the equipment manufacturer specifically approves it.

Spray Adhesive and Jobsite Tape

Slim’s inventory includes 3M spray adhesive and jobsite tapes for approved construction, preparation, masking, temporary holding, and general workshop applications.

Products represented include:

  • Spray adhesive
  • Duct tape
  • Painter’s tape in multiple widths

Adhesive and tape performance depends on the surfaces, temperature, moisture, exposure, required holding strength, removal needs, and length of application.

Check the product label for surface compatibility, preparation requirements, curing or bonding time, ventilation, and safe use.

Marking and Striping Paint

Find marking paint for construction layout, utility identification, excavation, landscaping, surveying, parking areas, and general jobsite marking.

Slim’s inventory includes upside-down marking paint and striping products from Krylon and Rust-Oleum in colors such as:

  • White
  • Yellow
  • Orange
  • Red-orange
  • Blue
  • Green
  • Pink
  • Clear

Milwaukee paint markers are also represented in several colors for approved marking applications.

Choose a product according to the surface, required visibility, color-coding system, application method, weather exposure, drying time, and project requirements.

Tool and Abrasive Maintenance Products

Slim’s inventory includes select products for maintaining tools and accessories, including a sanding-belt cleaner from Practical Products.

A sanding-belt cleaner can help remove approved buildup from some abrasive belts and discs. Confirm that the cleaner is compatible with the abrasive type and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

Maintenance products should not be used to restore damaged, torn, cracked, or excessively worn accessories.

Caulking and Sealant Application Tools

Slim’s carries caulking guns for applying compatible sealants, adhesives, and other cartridge or package-based products.

Inventory includes:

  • Tajima Convoy manual caulking guns
  • Milwaukee M12 and M18 cordless caulking guns
  • Makita cordless caulking guns
  • Multiple container capacities and configurations

The applicator must match the product container, material viscosity, required force, and working conditions.

Caulk, adhesive, and sealant availability may change. Call your nearest store when you need both an application tool and a specific chemical product.
