I've found the newest Felco 2's stick more than the older ones even though they are exactly the same (tolerances maybe). I run them slightly looser and lube them more where the old ones can go without lube for years.

What do you use for lube?

If I take it apart, I use a general waterproof grease inside. If it's the new set, I just squirt a mineral oil in the gap and on the spring. Either liquid or a spray like INOX.

Someone suggested a motorbike chain lube for the spring to me as well.
