Your tools are probably all air cooled, so their oil requirements might
be similar except for ratios...
However, there is a fairly big difference between air cooled 2-cycle oil
and water called 2-cycle oil (TCW-3 being the most common).
I also collect out outboards, and you can start a lot of heated
discussions about oil if you aren't careful. ;>
Anyways, oiling is important, I wouldn't take chances.
