The Gift for the Person Who Works on Everything: Why DGF Belongs in the Stocking

Everyone knows someone who’s always working on something. They tune up the snowblower before the first storm, they fix a sticking lock without being asked, and they spend a Saturday under a car because they’d rather do it themselves.

That person is hard to shop for. They already own the tools they need, and they’re picky about the ones they don’t. A can of DGF is a small gift they’ll actually use.


What DGF Is

DGF is a dry graphite film spray lubricant. It lays down a coat of microfine graphite particles that sets in about two to three minutes. What’s left is a clean, matte finish with no oily residue. Because it’s dry, it doesn’t collect dust and dirt the way oil-based lubricants do.

It also holds up to heat up to 3,000°F, and it conducts electricity. That makes it useful on everything from household hinges to engine parts.

Where They’ll Use It

In the garage: bolts, gaskets, pistons, cylinder heads, bearings, gears and exhaust components. DGF works well in near zero-tolerance applications, where a heavy lubricant can cause more trouble than it solves.

Around the house in winter: locks, garage door tracks, snowblowers and snowmobiles. Cold weather makes oil-based products stiff and grimy. A dry film keeps moving parts moving without the buildup.

In storage: DGF also helps protect precision parts from rust during shipping and storage, which is handy for anyone putting equipment away for the season.

Why It Makes Sense as a Gift

It’s practical. It fits in a stocking. And the person who opens it won’t have to wonder what it’s for, because they’ll probably have a job in mind before the wrapping paper hits the floor.

It’s also a product with history behind it. DGF has been made in Cleveland, Ohio, since 1948, which is a long time to stay on garage shelves.

Pick One Up This Season
