I use Kry-Tech (it's a wax based bicycle chain lube) since it works well, does not attract dirt as much, and cleans up easily. Then again, I use the same stuff for all my knives. To keep rust at bay I use a Tuf-Cloth to wipe down things.

I like mineral oil for my knives, in case I use it for food prep.

I use Sentry Solutions Tuf-Glide on my Leatherman tools, just as I do on my knives. I use it very sparingly on my Leatherman tools though, especially the main pliers joint, as I like the pliers on my multitools to be very stiff, not floppy, as they often get over time.

I've used Militec-1. It does work pretty well.

I used chap stick once in a pinch. Not the best but it made the scissors work again.

A good quality dry chain lube is ideal,nothing will stick to the very best ones.The Wurth brand is top notch.

Another user of white lightning the bike chain lube. I have been using it for over 10 years on my drawer queen peanuts
Pretty much anything but WD 40 , Rem Oil at the moment . If you do a lot of food prep ( unlikely for the pliers , but could apply to the blades ) , get mineral oil from the pharmacy , it's food safe .
Newbies overoil , old hands do it very sparingly .
