Trend Tool & Bit Cleaner, 18 fl oz, CLEAN/500

I've been using Trend tool and bit cleaner for at least four years for all of the cutting edges in my shop. I think I'm on my third bottle since 2020 or so. I really love this cleaner and it makes such a huge difference having clean cutters on all your machines. I initially bought it to clean table saw blades, and it works great for that. I have a silicone baking mat that I put down on my bench. I spray the blade on one side, flip it over, spray the other side and let it sit for maybe 2 or 3 minutes. From there, I use an old tooth brush to scrub off the resin with little effort. I attached a short video where you can see how well it cleans my sawblade with only about ten seconds soak time--it still gets most of the residue. Finally I just pat dry with a paper towel and I'm good to go. No need to waste the product rinsing the blade afterwards, and no need to be scrupulous about getting all of the product off of the blade before using it. It acts as a lubricant and rust inhibitor, so just pat dry and get back to work. I clean my blades every day that I use them, and it pays off--if you think your blades are dull or if you're burning the wood--90% of the time they are still sharp but just dirty, and cleaning them makes a night and day difference. Since then, I've started using this product to clean router bits, carbide bandsaw blades, jointer knives--I even spray down the helical head on my 15" planer and scrub it down from time to time. It also works great on those expensive sanding belts, especially if you have a bunch of buildup from resinous tropical hardwoods. When you spray it on, you can see the resin absorb the cleaner and come loose. Then I wipe it off, and follow that with a regular rubber belt cleaner. For really bad buildup you can spray the cleaner on liberally and wrap the belt in clingfilm or a garbage bag and let it sit for a while. For things like router bits I spray them down and wrap them in clingfilm, put them in a shot glass and come back 10 minutes later to scrub with a toothbrush. When routing really hard resinous woods I'll even spray router bits after a pass or two to clean them right on the router. You can also use this stuff to clean gunk off of hand plane irons, drill bits--you name it. Another trick is to take your cleaning cloth or paper towel after you've cleaned one tool and use the residual cleaner to wipe off your chisels, drill bits, whatever. It acts as a rust inhibitor as well, so it's great for that. Last but not least, this stuff is a mild lubricant--you can actually leave a bit of residue on a table saw blade or router bit and it can give you an advantage against burning. You don't want the cutter to feel wet to the touch, it should just feel a little slick. Some folks will also use this as a honing fluid when sharpening chisels / planes, etc., though I just use soapy water myself and wouldn't waste this stuff for that, but some people don't like to use water when they are honing, and this stuff would work great, and avoid rust. So I definitely love and recommend this stuff. A little goes a long way, and a bottle will last you a while.

This has been a game changer for me. As someone who works with wood and resin regularly, I know how quickly router bits and saw blades can get clogged with debris and residue, making them less effective and more difficult to use. But with Trend Tool & Bit Cleaner, all of those problems disappear. This industrial strength cleaner is incredibly effective at removing wood and resin buildup from router bits and saw blades, leaving them looking and feeling like new. I was amazed at how easily it removed even the most stubborn buildup, without damaging the metal or leaving any residue behind. What I love most about this product is how easy it is to use. Simply spray it on, let it sit for a few minutes, and then wipe it off with a clean cloth. It's fast, efficient, and incredibly effective. Overall, I would highly recommend Trend Tool & Bit Cleaner to anyone who works with wood or resin. It's an industrial strength cleaner that is gentle on your tools, leaving them clean and looking like new. It's a game changer that has made my work easier and more efficient, and I'm sure it will do the same for you.

I have often heard that keeping the buildup of residue on tools to a minimum would make them work better. It makes sense, but I am lazy. After buying more expensive blades, I figured I would give this cleaner a try. It cleaned up my table saw blades nicely and the cut of the blades is cleaner and faster. I also cleaned up yard tools with it and it worked well. It's worth the price, but I have not tried other products to know if the value is better than just soap and water.

This works quite well on blades and bits with minimal scrubbing. Wish I'd gotten it years ago.

Bought some used hedge trimmers. This product provided the cleaning I needed. Very effective.

This product cleaned my hedge trimmer blades quickly and easily. I definitely recommend it.

I wish I had done before and after pictures. Several years ago I picked up an oscillating spindle sander. Some of the sanding sleeves were in bad shape. After my latest project my 4" sleeve had thick layer of gum on it. It had gotten so bad it had stopped working completely. So I flipped it and used it until it wouldn't sand any more because of the thick buildup. My rubber abrasive cleaner nor a wire brush made any worthwhile improvement. At $20 a sleeve I bought this product to see what it would do. The sleeve was garbage at this point. I used the spray and my wire brush and OMG big time results. Its been a few days and of non use and I don't see any delaminating and the sleeve is sanding like new. Great product at a great price

I grew up in a house where we cut 2x4's, not fine hard woods. I didn't always know that you actually needed to clean your saw blades. So when that came to my attention I went looking around and found this. This is a fine product. It smells nice, it works well, it's just over priced. You can get a whole gallon of Simple Green that gets diluted into 2-4 gallons of cleaning product for the price of this one bottle. I'll likely keep using the bottle now that I have it, but just get some Simple Green and fine the level of diluting that works for you and get that instead. Live and learn... and pay I guess.

Works really well. Cleans most wood working tools. Gets rid of stuck on resin.

This product really cleans tools and tool accessories properly and with ease .

Cumple, no hace milagros, pero se nota.

Tres efficace pour enlever la résine de cèdres.

Reinigung der Sägeblätter funktioniert damit einwandfrei. Beim Auftrag/Anwendung bekommt man nach einigen Malen das Gefühl für die erforderliche Menge des Reinigers. Das reine abziehen mit einem Tuch hat bei mir jedoch nicht sofort zum besten Ergebnis geführt, ich habe eine Bürste dafür genutzt.
