    Anyone like Breakfree CLP?

    I got a small bottle of Breakfree CLP at a yard sale today. I've never used it that I recall, but I may have years ago. Does anyone favor it? It has a unique smell, I kinda like it. It freed up a rusty adjustable wrench I bought in short order.

    I use it on all my BP revolvers and rifles. It's really good stuff.

    I've been using it for quite a few years, inside and out, works very good for me, finally bought a large bottle of it because of the times I've run out and then couldn't find any at the store.

    I've used it almost exclusively for years as a general cleaner. It's great stuff.

    It will get a little sticky. I switch to the LAW lube in the winter months if I want to shoot.

    Works good on the loaders, presses and lubesizers.

    If you bought a recently made bottle it's good stuff. Before they reformulated it was garbage. I swore off it years ago because it would separate and become almost impossible to use.

    Picked up 2 aerosol cans at wally. Much better than what it was back in 81 or 82 when it first came on the market. I use it mostly on firearms and my presses, but it has wide application on lots of stuff around the house an garage.

    Has been my goto gun oil for 30 years. I have a gallon jug of it.

    Works ok for me but not better than other stuff, I think. As a one stop cleaner, lube it does good but I'm not sure it works better than Ballistol. I found Ballistol less sticky in cooler weather.

    I like the older CLP the best, before Safariland took over though it does work fine too. I really like that odd smell the older Break Free has! The new stuff is odorless. I use it from time to time to reminisce. Anymore thought i clean with Ed's Red and lube with 30wt oil and my competition guns get Slide Glide on sliding surfaces.

    I got lucky the other day and bought 3 big pump bottles of the the old Break Free of Ebay.

    Not since it gummed up a Beretta 70 and a Remington 1100 on the same day in February near Muleshoe, Texas back in the day. Too much sand and cold, I guess.

    This has to be the older stuff I got, it's just a pocket sized bottle. So far I like it. Only gave .25 for it, nearly full.

    It's a good lube for auto-loader slides and rails. The key is to use it sparingly. I use it quite a bit.

    Used gallons of it in the military. Always had to shake it up before squirting it out of the bottle.

    Just bought a little aerosol can of it a couple of months ago when my old army supply ran out.

    I like it. But I don't do extensive tests or research, so YMMV.

    Haven't tried it in the desert, but it does well to -15F to -20F deer hunting in MI.
