Just received a Hart brand expand-it pruner attachment, basically a clone of the Ryobi (I think it's the same parent company). In their noble attempt to be helpful, they include a little starter bottle of bar & chain oil in the box. Noble, but misguided -- the cap loosened in transit, and nicely lubricated everything in the box. Don't really need the manual, and I can clean up everything else, except the strap; it probably soaked up the bulk of the oil. Yeah I can get one on the cheap, or just grab one from one of my other pieces of equipment, but I'd rather not doom it to the landfill. Any ideas what might de-oil it?
