Review on 🧪 Permatex 22058 Dielectric Tune-Up Grease: Ultimate Protection in a 3 oz. Tube by Maurice Jimenez

This is 3 oz silicone grease (dielectric grease). I paid about $8 and the ad showed a package with Japanese writing on it. Doesn't matter? The same product with English labeling in the ad costs twice as much. I ended up getting the last one anyway. For comparison, a half-ounce tube of Danco Grease costs $4. Good material and good applicator tip but expensive. I use this to protect electrical connections on vehicle wiring and solder joints before wrapping them in heat shrink tubing. I also use it to lubricate O-rings on scuba tanks and dive lights. Not a bad idea for home lanterns if you're camping and risk getting caught in the rain. Silicone grease is also sold for plumbing applications (faucet grease), but this application is very rarely used. This is not high temperature grease and will burn out if it gets too hot. So do not apply to spark plug threads - modern spark plugs no longer require lubrication or anti-seize. But it's also great to apply to your car's battery posts, inside and out, to prevent corrosion, which is accelerated by humidity. Yes, it's likely I'll never have to buy a tube of silicone/dielectric grease again. Others have complained that caps can break, rendering these uncapped tubes useless. While the quality of the cap is unsatisfactory, I see no reason why it shouldn't be easy to find a replacement cap (maybe even from a tube of toothpaste!). It doesn't look like they use the patented threads on the neck of the tube. Therefore, breaking open the lid doesn't really bother me. However, for the average Joe, this whistle could last a lifetime. Your child will be happy if you get half a tube of this lubricant in passing. Another complaint is that it's difficult to apply with a tube of toothpaste instead of a pointed applicator. Big thing. For electrical connections, you can use a toothpick or finger. I use my fingers for O-rings. For plumbing applications, you'll probably apply it and wipe off the excess anyway. Would a pointed tube be better? Surely. It is important? No. Maybe you could find it if you really wanted it? Perhaps. This material is transparent in bulk but practically transparent at the thickness commonly used. good material. Many times cheaper than my other favorite little Danco tubes and will last a long time if you're not a plumber or tend to give up on life when the little plastic cap breaks!
