WD-40 Has Started Its Own Social Network

[HardOCP News]

What the?!? Since when did an all-purpose lubricant ever require its own social network? Move over Facebook, WD-40 is the new social network in town. Thanks to Edward C. for the link.

Yes, the WD-40 Co. has launched The Money-Saving Tool community. At this budding Peyton Place of cyberspace, members are encouraged to share money-saving tips and tricks—through stories, photos, videos, what have you—to show the creative ways they protect their investments and avoid paying for expensive repairs or replacement goods. According to the WD-40 Web site, the substance boasts more than 2,000 uses.

i though wd40 was going out of business. it's a very average lubricant, and they never even try to make it better.

Not just average, but also damaging, kills rubber o-rings/stoppers.

So WD40 is now a "social lubricant"? Wouldn't that cause skin irritation?

Only if it has warming qualities.

You have NO idea how many pranks would be impossible without WD40.

Cooking grease and other lubricants just don't give you the proper effect that WD40 does.

It doesnt' taste very good either.

I agree WD-40 is nasty stuff. Used it alot until I found Milligan Biotech Penoil which is what WD-40 should have been. WD-40 is alot more like solvant lol.

In fact wd-40 was originally created to be an industrial rust-prevention solvent and degreaser, (btw its pretty good at doing this)

It's not a lubricant. Perhaps that why it's "average" in that department. It is a solvent.

WD40 FTW
I always have a can next to me. That shit cleans anything I throw it at.

Thank you, I was about to post the same thing. It's a solvet also designed to displace water.

 

[SharpieFiend]

It is also the best solvent (by far) to remove thermal compound. Spray a tiny bit on a paper towel and that old hard-as-a-rock compound is history!

 

[Blazestorm]

I've heard similar (about the thermal grease)

Usually if it's hard it just rubs off with paper-towels though... the shit most manufacturers use is easy to get off.. I only used WD40 on door hinges and bikes... lul

I learn something new everyday on this forum

Since when did we ever need social networks or forums? I mean, jeeze!

 

[Kil4Thril]

We get the shit in 50 gallon drums where I work. It cleans and prevents rust on our equipment- the slight lubricating properties are helpful, too.

 

[BlueStorm]

This.

It's not really a "lubricant" though it is often confused with one. It's more a rust penetrant/preventative spray.

 

[ZenOps]

Its an above average spray for pretty much everything.

Degrease - lubricate and rust protect. You can get much better materials that do these things individually - and if you have the time you probably should.

But if you are in a bind or just need a quick fix, it works great. Yes - just like duct tape.
