That's essentially what Nu-Skin is; it just has antiseptic added in. I keep a bottle of it in the first aid kit and like it for small cuts and abrasions that don't warrant a band-aid.

I used my new zerk fitting opener I got from Northern Hydraulics you take the metal plunger out and fill it full of something like wd40 you put the plunger back in and then after putting it on the grease fitting in question whack the heck out of it with a hammer. I only tried it on one stuck fitting so far but it opened it up really well.

The only nuskin I've ever heard of is the cosmetics company that sells through a Pyramid marketing scheme.
I got the superglue idea when I worked as a scrub tech for a veterinarian when I was in college. On cats they'd use "skin glue" so that there weren't stiches showing for the cat to pick at. The vet said that it was basically superglue

I just checked the first aid kit and the stuff is called "New Skin." With all the purposeful misspelling of words by the marketing wonks, it's easy to fall into that trap. I'm sure the "New Skin" I keep in the kit is not the same medical grade products available to doctors and other medical industry professionals. In any case, I do like it for small cuts.

Those are truly great tools! I have a newer one with only one set of 'teeth' at the top.. but also have a much older set that have 2 'teeth' acrosss the top.. found it on the road.. great for pulling staples and a good hammer and wire cutter.

on a fencing tool, two teeth at the top are much, much better than just one... I hope I never lose my set!

I just bought a new fence tool at Tractor Supply (Chinese) in a package. When I got home and opened it, it was so tight it took two hands to open or close it. I have tried everything to loosen it up with no avail.

Put in a couple miles of fence.. by then it will loosen up..
If you got a young kid.. give it to him and tell him to open and close it 5000 times and you'll give him 5 bucks.. give him a can of wd-40 to spray the joint with now and then.. if that don't loosen it up.. then you might have a problem...

Or better yet, take the Chinese made piece of pot metal back to TSC and get an exchange or refund. If an exchange, test it out in the store before taking it home.
Why waste time trying to make a cheaply made tool work properly?
