I use Johnson paste wax on my woodworking tool tops. A thin coat rubbed in well once a year does the trick for me. If it's cold heating lightly with a heat gun makes quick work of rubbing it in. My shop is only heated when needed during the winter and never air conditioned. What I like about it for woodworking tools is it doesn't need to be removed before use. I do use T9 on some of hand tools, wiping off any excess. I tried T9 on the top of my table saw but found that it always left residue on wood even if I wiped it down very well. Completely removing it before each use was not acceptable to me. A 1lb can of paste wax costs about $7 and lasts a long time. I've been on my first can for about 15 years.
