Tetra TET004B1I vs Boeshield T90012

Buy Tetra Gun Grease, model TET004B1I, the 1 oz tube, when you want the white fluoropolymer grease the card files under gun lubrication. Buy Boeshield T-9, model T90012, the 12 oz aerosol, when you want the spray the label calls rust and corrosion protection and waterproof lubrication. One is a tube of semi-solid grease. One is a can. Neither card is a firearm, and neither card is ammunition. A rifle, a pistol, and the cartridges stay at a licensed dealer.

Short version. A bottle of Slip 2000 and a can of G96 are a different oil pair. Hoppe's oil and Break-Free CLP are liquids with their own cells. Ballistol and Rem Oil are another liquid pair. Two carbon cleaning rods are tools, not grease. Match TET004B1I or T90012 before you match the word lubricant.

The Tetra title is Tetra Gun Grease, 1 oz. The model cell is TET004B1I. The brand cell says Tetra. The item-form cell says Semi-solid. The material cell says Synthetic. The recommended-uses cell says Firearms. The specific-uses cell says Gun. The category path is Gun Maintenance, then Gun Lubrication. That path is a filing label for a chemical, not a serialized firearm and not a box of cartridges. The photo is a yellow and navy blister card with a white tube. There is no firearm in the photo. The net-weight line on the card is 1 oz. The piece count is one tube.

Two UPCs show up on the listing: 053371000049 and 053371000056. The GTINs include 00053371000049 and 00053371000056, which are those barcodes with a leading zero, and a third string, 05275577383671, that does not match either UPC. A third GTIN that does not belong to the barcodes is a junk cell. Reorder from TET004B1I and from the barcode printed on the blister you can see. Do not reorder the orphan GTIN. A sibling listing, a different ASIN, uses a model cell that says GUN GREASE instead of TET004B1I. Same family, different cell. Buy the model you can read on the blister, not the sibling whose model cell is a category phrase.

The bullets call it a fluoropolymer white grease and they say it works across a wide temperature range. The Amazon card does not print a numeric range. There is no minus-100 cell and no 750 cell in the detail block. A dealer sheet for the same family prints a range from about minus 100 degrees Fahrenheit to 750 degrees Fahrenheit and a product code TG004. That sheet is not the Amazon cell. Cite it as a dealer sheet. Cite the Amazon card as "wide temperature range" with no numbers. Do not paste the dealer degrees into a review and call them the Amazon specification. If the tube you open is not white grease, the fluoropolymer bullet does not describe what you received.

Semi-solid is the form that separates this tube from an oil. You are buying a grease, not a pourable CLP. Synthetic is the material cell. It does not print a base-oil viscosity, because grease is not sold that way on this card. The 1 oz net weight is the small tube. A larger Tetra grease jar would be a different model. Do not expect a needle applicator the card did not name. The blister in the photo is the package. If the tube arrives without the blister, match the print on the tube to TET004B1I or to Tetra Gun Grease before you decide the seller substituted a different chemical.

The Boeshield title is T-9, model T90012, and the liquid-volume cell says 12 fluid ounces. The item-weight cell says 12 ounces. The brand cell says Boeshield. The material cell says Lubricant. The compatible-material cell says Metal. The container-type cell says Bottle. The photo is a white aerosol can, not a bottle. The label in that photo reads NET WT 12 OZ (340 g), rust and corrosion protection, waterproof lubrication, and developed by Boeing. Bottle is the wrong container word. Can is what you are holding. Twelve fluid ounces and 12 ounces and 340 grams are three ways of pointing at the same fill claim. A fluid ounce of a light solvent is not always a weighed ounce. Here the label prints both net weight 12 oz and 340 g, and the weight cell says 12 ounces. They agree closely enough to quote the label. They do not agree with the word Bottle.

Two UPCs show up: 700115573580 and 738481900129. A Home Depot listing for the same family prints only 738481900129. Two barcodes again mean you scan the can. Do not assume the retail barcode you saw in a store aisle is the only one this Amazon card accepts. The card text is tools, bikes, marine metal, and the Boeing development line. It is not filed as a firearm, and it is not a cartridge. You can buy the can the way you buy any other aerosol lubricant. You still do not point it at a flame. The label's danger block says flammable, contents under pressure, and harmful or fatal if swallowed. That block is the safety line. It is not a slogan.

Twelve ounces is the can. A 4 oz Boeshield can is a different model and a different fill. T90012 is the 12 oz model cell. The compatible-material cell says Metal. The card does not print a plastics-safe test, a rubber-safe test, or a wood finish test. If you are spraying a painted surface, the metal cell does not cover you. The Boeing line is a history claim on the label. It is not a specification of film thickness. The card does not print dry-time minutes. Wipe and wait the way the can's own directions say, and if those directions are on the back panel, read the back panel. The front label points you there.

Who should buy the tube, and who should buy the can?

Buy TET004B1I if you want a 1 oz tube of white grease filed as gun lubrication and you will treat "wide temperature range" as a phrase, not as a pair of degrees. Buy it if you want grease on metal parts that stay put, and if you understand a semi-solid does not spray. Buy T90012 if you want the 12 oz aerosol, the Boeing line on the label, and a metal-compatible lubricant you can buy without walking into a gun counter. Buy the can if you will ignore the container cell that says Bottle. Buy neither if you wanted a firearm, a box of ammunition, or a cleaning rod. Those are different listings, and the first two are not sold from these buttons.

Do not buy the Tetra tube because a sibling card's model cell said GUN GREASE and you assumed the part number did not matter. TET004B1I is the model. Do not buy a 4 oz T-9 and expect the T90012 fill. Do not mix the grease and the spray in one cup and call it a third product. The cards describe two packages. Use one, then the other, if you use both, and label the rag.

What the Tetra grease is actually for

This card is a small tube of synthetic fluoropolymer grease. The use cells say firearms and gun. That is a maintenance chemical for metal parts a gun owner already has. It is not the gun. The photo shows the blister and the tube. Quote the photo if someone asks whether this article is selling a firearm. It is not. The 1 oz fill is the amount. A wide temperature range without numbers means you cannot claim a degree from this detail block. If you need the dealer sheet's range, say it came from the dealer sheet and name the code that sheet uses, TG004, which is not the Amazon model cell. TET004B1I and TG004 can be the same family and still be different strings. Match the string on the package you open.

White grease is the color the bullets claim. If the paste is black or amber, you may have a different Tetra product. The brand makes more than one chemical. The UPC on the blister is the check. 053371000049 and 053371000056 are the two this card admits. The orphan GTIN is not a third size. Semi-solid means you apply it. You do not pour it into a bore and call it a solvent. A solvent card is a different chemical. This one is grease. Keep it off food, off skin you have not meant to treat, and away from children. The small tube is easy to lose in a range bag. The choking and chemical warnings on the blister are the safety copy. Read them. They are not a how-to for a firearm.

What the Boeshield can is actually for

This card is one 12 oz aerosol of T-9. The label's jobs are rust and corrosion protection and waterproof lubrication. The compatible-material cell says Metal. Bikes, tools, and marine hardware are the uses the listing text actually talks about. That is why the can sits on a chemical shelf and not on a firearm shelf. You may spray it on metal you own. The card does not tell you to spray it on a cartridge, and you should not. Contents under pressure and flammable are the reasons the can stays out of a hot truck and away from a flame. The 340 g line on the label is the gram twin of the 12 oz net-weight line. The weight cell saying 12 ounces matches that label. The container cell saying Bottle does not.

Developed by Boeing is a sentence on the label. It does not mean the can is an aircraft part with a military specification number. The card does not print a mil-spec. It does not print a dielectric strength. It does not print hours of salt spray. If a seller's title adds those numbers, they are not this detail block. T90012 and the barcode are the identity. A clear wet film that later dries is the behavior owners expect from this family, and the card's own front label says additional cautions are on the back panel. Read that panel before you spray a closed garage. Ventilation is the practical half of a flammable aerosol. The card's danger block is the legal half.

How to use them without mixing the two jobs

Put the Tetra grease on metal that needs to stay greased: a sliding surface, a hinge, a part you do not want an oil to run off. The card does not print a parts diagram, and this article will not invent one. Wipe the excess. White grease shows against blued metal, which is useful, and it shows on hands and on a truck seat, which is the mess. Cap the tube. A 1 oz tube without a cap dries out or picks up grit. Do not heat the tube to make it flow. Semi-solid is the form you bought.

Shake the Boeshield can the way an aerosol label tells you to, spray a light coat on clean metal, and keep the can upright unless the back panel says otherwise. Do not spray it into a closed action and walk away. Do not spray it on ammunition. Do not store the can in the same pouch as a loose tube of grease with the caps off, or you will not know which film you applied. Bottle in the container cell is not an instruction to pour the can into a bottle. You cannot pour an aerosol safely by puncturing it. Leave it in the can. If the nozzle breaks, the card does not include a spare nozzle in any included-components line you can cite. Replacement is a different purchase.

What actually fails on these two cards

The Tetra card fails when a shopper treats the listing as a firearm because the use cell says Gun. It fails when the dealer sheet's temperature numbers are quoted as Amazon cells. It fails when the junk GTIN is used to reorder. It fails when GUN GREASE on a sibling model cell is accepted in place of TET004B1I. It fails when 1 oz is read as 1 pound. The blister says 1 oz. It fails when someone expects a spray and receives a tube. Semi-solid was the form cell.

The Boeshield card fails when Bottle is read as the package and the buyer expects a screw-top flask. It fails when one UPC is treated as a counterfeit because the other UPC is also on the card. It fails when 12 fluid ounces, 12 ounces, and 340 g are described as three different fills. The label pairs 12 oz with 340 g. It fails when the Boeing line is inflated into a specification the card does not print. It fails when the can is described as ammunition or as a firearm cleaner that replaces a rod. It is a spray lubricant. The rod comparison is a different article. It fails when the flammable warning is skipped because the front of the can looks like a household polish.

What this comparison is not

This is not a firearm review and it is not an ammunition review. No firearm photo, no cartridge photo, and no firearm or ammunition ASIN belongs in this pair. This is not a salt-spray laboratory report. Neither card prints hours to rust. This is not a price quote. Use the buttons for the live chemical listing. This is not a review of every Tetra tube size or every T-9 fill. TET004B1I is the 1 oz grease. T90012 is the 12 oz can. This is not a video review. No clip is embedded, because a film of a firearm being wiped down is a different subject.

So which chemical should you buy?

Buy the Tetra tube if you want 1 oz of white fluoropolymer grease, model TET004B1I, filed as gun lubrication, and you will keep the dealer temperature numbers off the Amazon card. Buy the Boeshield can if you want 12 oz of T-9 aerosol, model T90012, for metal, and you will call it a can even though the container cell says Bottle. Buy neither if you came for a gun, a box of ammunition, or a numeric temperature range the Amazon cells do not contain. The package in your hand is the decision. The use cell is not a firearm.
