Anyone else using Food grade silicone grease on their fragging tools?

A while back, my flex shaft Dremel was starting to bind and I did not want to use Zoom oil on it as this one is only for coral cutting. I lubed the moving parts with food grade silicone grease and it's working great. So I greased up my bone cutters and a pair of channel locks I only use in the tank.
 
Super lube all the way. That's what i use, not just on reef stuff. o-rings, sink seats, etc if it needs to move, super lube.

Right on, don't know why I didn't think of this 12 years ago...
