When a lock starts to stick or a chain starts to squeak, you need a lubricant that stays where you put it. The Blaster 5.5 oz Industrial Graphite Dry Lubricant Spray and the Tri-Flow 12 oz Industrial Lubricant solve that problem in different ways. One is a spray that dries to a protective coating for targeted maintenance; the other is an aerosol for general shop use. The right pick depends on the job and how much you plan to use.
Quick verdict
If your work involves locks, rollers, gears, chains, gaskets, belts, and threaded fasteners, the Blaster dry lubricant is the more targeted choice. If you want an everyday aerosol for a range of shop tasks, the Tri-Flow is the volume pick. Neither is a bad buy; it's about matching the lubricant to the application.

Product notes
5.5 oz. Industrial Graphite Dry Lubricant Spray
This Blaster spray is the one to reach for when you need a lubricant that won't stay wet. It dries to a dark gray, tack-free film and is recommended for gaskets, transfer and conveyor belts, rollers, wheels, gears, chains, hoists, locks, and threaded fasteners. It also suits high-temperature and low-load maintenance, which makes it a strong option where oils might run or attract dust. Spray it evenly and reapply if you need more. The trade-off is that heavy shop use will go through it faster. For a dry coating and thread work that needs a stay-put film, this is the clearer pick.
Industrial Lubricant 12oz
Tri-Flow's aerosol is the volume-oriented option for everyday lubrication. As an industrial lubricant in a rectangular can, it offers a simple, familiar way to handle general shop needs. With this can on hand, you'll make fewer trips to the shelf before replacing it. The limitation is that it's less specialized: the Blaster spray is the more direct choice when a dry film or thread treatment is the goal. For routine lubrication where volume is the priority, this is a solid workhorse.
Final choice by use case
Choose the Blaster 5.5 oz Industrial Graphite Dry Lubricant Spray at USD 10.75 when you need a dry, tack-free film for gaskets, belts, rollers, gears, chains, locks, and threaded fasteners, especially in high-temperature, low-load situations. Choose the Tri-Flow 12 oz Industrial Lubricant at USD 24.08 when you want a larger aerosol can for general industrial lubrication and don't need a specialized dry coating or thread treatment. In short, targeted maintenance points to Blaster; broad shop lubrication points to Tri-Flow.
