Cleans connectors, contacts, and other metal surfaces

Many of our favorite tools and toys are battery-owened and depend on clean contacts.

Most contact cleaners are solvents that remove dirt and grease. CAIG Laboratories’ DeoxIT does that but also removes oxidation, getting battery terminals, contacts, and connections really clean.

A touch on a headphone jack will remove noise and get both channels working.

I use lots of rechargeable batteries and use DexIT to remove the tarnish that inevitably develops on the contacts.

DeoxIT comes in 2 flavors, the D-Series is a heavy-duty cleaner. DeoxIT Gold is for routine cleaning.

DeoxIT costs more per ounce than 70-year-old whisky but a little goes a long way and you don’t have to buy the whole bottle. I’ve been using the same 6 ml. dispensing pens for over 5 years and still have plenty left.
