I'm new to air tools, and have bought some cheap ones at HF to get started. They say to oil them daily, but it's not so clear as to where to put the oil in them, what kind of oil to use, or how much.

I have always put 4-5 drops of oil down the air input hole before using an air tool. I am partial to Marvel Mystery Oil, which in my book is great stuff. A word of caution when oiling your reciprocat

As many others have said, most tools are oiled through the air intake. Impact drivers will usually have an additional oil port to lube the drive mechanism, but still need oil through the air intake

There is nothing wrong with using Teflon tape on threads but there is a right way to put it on. Always start two threads back from the end. The problem people have is that they over lap the end and
