Metal Lubricants

Ok time for another installment of "what belongs in every teams toolbox" Todays topic; WD-40, JB-80, Grease, 3 in 1 sewing machine oil, or other? Here are my thoughts.

At robotics:
WD-40: Used for lubricating our pneumatic cylinders, chain and lubrication on other metal on metal rubbing points that are hard to get at.

Grease: Used for metal on metal rubbing points that are easy to get at and will be rubbing together for long periods of time (ie the whole season)

In the auto shop use:
JB-80: used to prep pneumatic tools and lubricate stubborn rusty bolts

Grease: used on the key grease points on every car

Personal use:
WD-40: used on my bike chain

sewing machine oil: used to maintain my hand tools and i also use it for my home appliances with any sort of gear box (most commonly my paper shredder)

So what do you guys and gals on chief delphi use at robotics, work and or home as lubricant.
