The Contenders;
Action Can CT-90 Cutting & Tapping Fluid 500ml @ £6.99 from Toolstation. Product code: 61138
Description: purple-blue coloured fluid, sticks well to steel even over head, slightly acrid smell, boils off quickly if forcing rotabroaching or drilling hard, best used little and often with moderate force for best cutting action. Sticks well to taps and allows easy cleaning of swarf.
WD-40 Specialist Multi-Purpose Cutting Oil 400ml @ £6.95 ToolStation Product code: 56345
Description straw-brown colour foaming fluid with a neutral sweet smell, flows easily and drips away especially when rotabroaching overhead causing a right mess. OK to use in downhill horizontal position but boils off quickly if forcing rotabroaching or drilling hard. Other jobs indicate it flows away too easily on angles and slopes.
Aerosol folding head gimmicky and not secure as it kept falling off or becoming detached when handling to spray overhead.
