Johnsons paste wax. Then again, I don't use chemicals to clean.

I use synthetic oil after using the tool. On saws and planes I'll use some Johnson's paste wax before using the tool.

Also on outdoor tools axes shovels and hoes?
Thanks so much

I use
CorrosionX HD. Nothing I have ever used this on has ever rusted - including all my saltwater fishing gear. I spray the stuff on a microfiber cloth and use that to wipe down my tools. Cloth gets stored in a canning jar so the volatiles do not flash off.
Thanks, Curt

The oil that Japanese woodworkers use. Doesn't do much, but I like it.
Oh, and Johnson paste wax on stuff that doesn't get used that much
