LOL....Adman by day....Penthouse Letter writer on the side....the fine print is the deal killer tho'....
red knob...wtf :D? |
I don't care about all those penentrant shoot outs , I still use WD 40 daily . Love the stuff . I have not really noticed any real performance difference between it and PB, or Kroil etc....
Of course, I go right for the smoke wrench once I find something really stuck . |
Someone did an experiment with all the lubes.
The WD-40 Specialist (not the regular stuff) performed very well. Results of gun care product evaluation |
The main consideration for car nuts is penatrive capability. Who cares what it smells like if it gets the bolt undone.Copper grease applied when re-assembling prevents a future problem.

I like WD 40 but was always partial to CRC penetrating oil. Another cool product (not so much for its penetrating ability but more as a lubricant) is Wurth HHS 2000. It sprays out real liquidy and then starts to thicken up after a minute or so. It has the ability to run down in to tight spots (door hinges and stuff) and then thicken up and remain in there. I like it.

S'ok! penetrating oil was my main go to, but now it is a 50/50 solution of acetone and ATF.. WD40 for the light duty things like door hinges.

If you ever have to replace the bearings on a farm disc some day, you'll appreciate Kroil, mapp gas or oxy aceltylene torch, and a huge impact wrench. It seems that every tome I do that job it's like starting from scratch. Each nut is super rusted. Unless you have a bucket of new bolts, it's not like you can just cut them off.

I thought it was funny, definitely from a different time. I like WD40 and still use it almost every time I use tools because it is such a great solvent, i.e. it cleans things like nothing else. You spray it on old threads before re-assembling something and it cleans them as well as leaves just the right super-thin film on them.
I think that it's a genius formulation but of course I have every other spray lubricant on earth as well. "Better living through chemistry." One of my other favorites is good old 3-in-1 penetrating oil for threads, it's also a perfect formulation, the consistency of water. |
