Tips and interesting facts about a legendary oil
Ballistol Universal Oil has been tried and tested and unrivalled since 1904. It was invented back then for the soldiers of the German Empire. Around the turn of the century, the army was looking for an all-rounder oil that could not only maintain and preserve the metal parts of weapons, but also wooden stocks and leather. At the same time, it had to serve sol- diers as a wound oil for injuries. In 1904, the son of the company founder, Dr Helmut Klever, then a lecturer in chemistry at the Technical University in Karlsruhe, finally succeeded in formulating a special oil, today's Ballistol Universal Oil. It soon became known as a "miracle oil" with surprising pro- perties and was used in the German army from 1905 to 1945.
The universal oil – well tested and unequalled! For maintaining metal, wood, leather, rubber, synthetic material, skin, animal coats and much more. Ideally suited for handicraft, industry, agriculture, household, gardening, vehicles, fishing, hunting and shooting sports.
