LOL...Yea, I have seen first hand what a big glob of it does under the handle rails on a toolbox. It's there for a month regardless. In fact, just to let the guy (a friend BTW) know that I coulda got him, I ground down the threads on a couple zerk fittings, put a dab of grease on the ends, and sat them on top of his box...and even went as far as drilling through the metal of a red mobile cart, and put the red painted metal shavings around the fittings to give it that fresh drilled look. He thought the top of his box was filled with grease. LOL Anyway, yea- the stuff definately goes a long way.

As for plugs and aluminum heads, I have had good luck with Lubriplate. Not nearly as messy either.
