Best Answer

Lubrication prevents both wear and damage to tools by reducing friction.

Scissors as a cutting tool consist of two knife edges connected at a central pivot, typically a rivet or bolt. Lightly oiling scissors at the pivot prevents friction at that point, and lightly oiling the blade edges where they meet can prevent the blades from rusting, and allow them to slide easily past each other as they cut.

How do you do decrease the percentage of unsaturated fat in olive oil?

The process of hydrogenation, which is quite simple (it involves letting hydrogen gas bubble through the oil) will cause the unsaturated fat to become saturated. This will make the oil less nutritious but easier to store.
