I've got a 25 year old Makita electric demolition hammer that has given long and faithful service. I'm thinking of selling it (getting too heavy for my 75 yo bones) and would like to clean it up. It's got 25 years worth of lubricating (air tool oil) oil and dirt, baked on by the sun, that I'd like to clean off. Tried a couple of my stand byes, kerosene and WD40 and they won't budge the stuff. Any suggestions? Note: I'm not going to attempt to disassemble the tool, so anything I use would have to be applied to the assembled unit (dipping not an option).
