I’m one of those weirdos that doesn’t throw away my waste from changing oil and fluids in my vehicles…I use to treat the wooden handles of my tools and such, like hammers and axes and all that. Today, I used it to treat the wood on my little 5x8 trailer, which honestly probably needs replacing but this should give it another while before it comes to that.

Great idea!
Thanks! It works pretty good, gives the wood some waterproofing also. Cheaper than most treatment options too lol
What's your address? I'll send you all mine.
Please don't put it on anything you touch with bare skin. Used oil has a lot of chemicals from combustion namely benzene which can cause cancer. I know a guy that got leukemia which he believes was from used motor oil for many years.
It’s definitely a risk/benefit analysis one has to do. I let my tool handles dry for a week or more before using them, and that’s after wiping down.
Have you considered boiled linseed oil for tool handles? Much nicer and it smells good too! That's what I use.
I have, both the chemical kind and the actually boiled linseed oil, Ballistol, beeswax, beeswax and Ballistol mixed together, don’t like any of them as well as oil and they don’t preserve like the oil does
