Fun fact. WD 40 was invented by an astronautics engineer who at one point worked for nasa. He developed it to displace water in space as mentioned in the video. He named it “Water Displacement test #40” which became known as the shorter name WD-40. Took him 40 tries before he accepted the formula he liked as a final product.

One of the first WD40 marketing campaigns I remember was to use WD40 to drive water out of spark plug wires and distributor caps. At the time I was a teen with 2 dirt bikes and truly when you ride through puddles or deep streams the plug wires would get wet and stop the engine. Back then most cars had a lot of room under their hoods and poorly designed roads also were prone to rain water ponding up and the tires would soak the engine compartment. WD40 did work well to drive the moisture from the plugs, wires, and distributors. I was saved from sitting in the woods for hours waiting for my bike to dry off many times. I worked at a service station when I got a little older and we would use it to start drowned cars on service calls. It saved a number of tows. I've been told it is a decent starting fluid for 2 cycle motors and diesel engines though I've never tried it for that. I've been using a product called SCREWLOOSE by CRC for penetrating rusted and over-tightened fittings. It works good, is FDA approved for food plants, and doesn't stink like one of the other competitors product.

@RabbleBarkMoo --- Many years ago, I drove tow trucks for the Auto Club. And during rainy seasons' many drivers would go too fast through standing water at intersections, which would slash water onto the exhaust manifolds, causing steam which would find it's way into the distributor cap and kill the motor. Whip off the distributor cap, spray wd40 inside, slosh it around, dump it out & no more water!! Drivers thought we were the greatest!
@bgordski4 жыл бұрын
@RabbleBarkMoo It displaces water. An ignition system is passing a high voltage, low current load: any water acts as a conductor and shorts the ignition. Ever wash your engine in a car wash and had trouble starting afterwards? Spray wd-40 and the engine fires right up. The ozone in the air eats at the insulation of the ignition system. You can see this at night in the dark look at a running engine and watch the sparks jumping from the ignition wires. After a rain storm you can stand by a big puddle and fix stalled cars for profit using only wd-40.

During that time, I've never had a fork seal fail, a hose burst or any other seal related failure. Rather than attack rubber and plastics, WD40 seems to keep them flexible and protects from perishing. Just my 2c based on my personal experience! 🙂

Great video. Couple points, WD40 Is actually a decent penetrating lubricant AVE and Project Farm both tested it against a slew of other penetrating lubes and it did very well, was consistently in the top 3 or 4 out of a dozen. As a mechanic I can say my anecdotal evidence supports that. Secondly the MSDS says it's 35% petroleum oil..so it absolutely lubricates, but as stated it's kind of a jack of all trades. Great item to keep around
@alexandersimpson36382 жыл бұрын
I seem to remember some time ago they had to remove any claims to lubricator.. When it boils off, what’s left? It certainly ain’t 30% oil, it may be good whilst it’s boiling off at penetrating but it’s far better at cleaning.. I suspect any oil in WD40 is being gassed off, since it literally leaves nothing behind to lubricate one the boiling has finished.. It smells nice though…!

When I was in the Fleet Air Arm in the 70s/80s, it was labelled Rocket WD-40, it had a rocket with a yellow and blue chequered pattern around it on the can similar to that on some NASA rockets and it was often shortened to just 'Rocket', 'Dubs 40' or just 'Dubs'. It was expensive so we were encouraged to use PX-24 instead whenever possible which came in five litre bottles and was put in a hand spray and was used to spray on an aircraft's skin after a freshwater wash, especially if it had been flying over the sea. I never really knew what the difference was but always thought that PX-24 smelled a bit like coconut. I remember being told that WD-40 was a dry lubricant in that its lubrication continued after it had dried. I have to say that I'm a bit disappointed with the current delivery systems for WD-40. The folding straw spray heads that I have used are incapable of giving a momentary spray, no matter how hard I try, an instant of a press always gives about two or three seconds of spray. And the hand spray bottles are a total failure - whether they have a rubber seal which perishes or something, I don't know but after a while, pumping the trigger just results in a handful of WD-40 and nothing hitting the target. So, I decant WD-40 into a small bottle for manual application and keep an old fashioned can around for difficult areas.
@sapereaude3914 жыл бұрын
Having been reminded of PX24 by my comment above, I discovered that it was still available so I bought five litres to use on my car the same way that it was used on aircraft, i.e. as water/dirt repellant. I regret to have to say that the product I received, whilst it probably does its job, smells disappointingly nothing like coconut.

I like the design of the straw now, because it never gets lost and you can just fold it down for more of a general application, but like you, I think it fails miserably when it comes to trying to give like a half burst, where we used to be able to trickle it out of the can.

Another one! Bad use of WD40... Which, as the bear mentioned regarding the hinges, just congregates the crud and traps water. NEVER use WD40 on ANYTHING electrical, espeically a HV ignition circuit. Use isopropyl to clean electrical gear. If one must coat the distributor cap, use an electrical (non-conductive) lacquer, or silicone spray; silicone is a very efficient moisture dispersal agent, one reason why it is used on all manner of aquatic equipment. A small smear of silicone grease, also acts as a pretty good 'demister' for one's diving mask. . WD40 has only one or two key uses - to clean rusty tools and parts and to help free rusted fastners, that said, many occasions, I've still had to apply heat to expand the fastner before it will deign to move. Otherwise keep well away from flame and electrics.

PB Blaster... displaces water quite well actually. Has a tendency to also go where you do NOT want it to go as well- but that is precisely what it was designed to do- PENETRATE!
@bbkmm15 жыл бұрын
Penetrants on rusty nuts are mostly psychological. From my experience, the threads are bone dry even after repeated soaking overnight. The only things that make a difference are heat and impact motion.
@scattkiwiman4 жыл бұрын
this is absolutely true !! 2 objects severely bonded together by rust will not be penetrated by anything. Heat and hammering work, that is for sure, because you break the rust. I've tested on severe corroded rear axle systems. Soak in wd40. doesn't help. Break apart by hammering. And than you see the wd40 did not leave any marks of penetrating

As a water dispersant it did one thing well. On old distributors with points, any moisture, would render it NFG. Pop the two clips, lift the cap, spray with WD-40, reinstall and it’s now a runner. Good tip if you have something with points.
@anonymike82804 жыл бұрын
Finally, someone who know what I have always known. WD-40 is decent as a temporary lubricant. It does have some penetrating oil qualities. One use of it is as an assembly lubricant, aka something to spray on bolts when you put things back together or install parts. But it is made primarily of deodorized kerosene and will evaporate, meaning the it has no permanent anti-sieze properties. Wonderful stuff it is, and you can use it to clean electrical connectors too. But it is what it is, and it is a cleaner, not a lubricant. I didn't need a talking bear to tell me all this stuff. Hee-haw!

I love my WD-40, don't talk bad about it. I've been using it for everything for the past 50+ years, no problem. I use it as a lubricant, it doesn't conduct electricity like silicone. It doesn't break down break down rubber, I keep my cars for 15 or 20 years and never had any problem. I use it all my garden tools, and the wooden handles, they work and look like new. It keeps locks working smoothly and doesn't gum up the works. Spread it on your light bulb metal base before you put it the socket and a bulb will never get frozen in. My above ground 34 year old swimming pool has been treated with WD-40 all these years and it still standing. My wife even says if she'd slow down I sprayed on her. Life is short - Take a chance, use that WD-40, it'll be your best friend.

I like to use "Balistol" oil. Some people still call it "Waffenöl". In18 Hundred something the German Kaiser wanted something for his Soldiers. That would avoid rust on weapons, would also grease them, but could also be used on all the leather gear and fabric to impragnate that to keep it maintained and also could be used to treath wounds. One company came up with a solution that actually worked. And so that name stuck until today still... Waffenöl translated actually means "Weapons oil" It does not harden. It is good for your skin and is a great cleaner to get stuburn stuff off your skin where you normally would use very aggressive (to your skin) stuff on. In fact: if you drink it, nothing bad will happen. It can be used for A LOT of applications other than the original applications. I.e. all precions gears (i.e. Sewing machines) love that stuff. I find it a pity that people forget about the old stuff. I also did not use it for some years until I had an issue with a preivous WD40 application which now had an issue with that stuff hardening and getting sticky (Which I knew it does, but didn't think materred, but it did.)

I LOVE WD40 so much!!! 💁🏻♀️ I would say there is ☝️ one *ABSOLUTE BEST* job regular WD40 is *TRULY PERFECT* for and that is most definitely how it removes labels and all of the nasty adhesive under them! I *ESPECIALLY* love their newer non-aerosolized can that allows me to (pump spray) jars and bottles with labels to my heart’s content!!! 👍👍👍 I *ALSO* use it when I’m cleaning my counters or floors. If there is a spot of dried gravy or something particularly nasty, hard or gummy “stuck” on any surface I’m trying to clean, I’ll give it a spray and walk away. 💁🏻♀️ It’s much easier to wipe it all up in one swipe a few minutes later than to scrub with steel wool and potentially damage the surface. PS. First time I found/saw your channel and I love the bear animation! How do you do that? It’s *VERY CLEVER!* 🤗❤️
