How to Refill WD-40 Non-Aerosol Trigger Pro

[@357magdad]

Correction - the company that built the Atlas Rocket was Convair not Corvair.

[@vanislescotty]

@@357magdad correct. Ralph Nader made sure the Corvair rocket was taken off the market for safety reasons. 😆

[@805ROADKING]

Good stuff Bud!! Save that Spray Bottle, ya got those Folks at WD-40 redesigning it right now!!☻

[@357magdad]

Thanks RoadKing! They'll prolly glue the cap on!

[@kimbishop4734]

That's it. No more aerosol cans. They always seem to run out of propellant before they're empty anyway. You just saved me a bunch of money. Thanks.

[@357magdad]

I really like the non-aerosol WD-40.

[@garageshopminnesota]

I definitely need to try this. WD-40 sells white plastic spray bottles, with their logo, that are refillable, but it would be nice to have a metal spray can to use and refill. Your channel and Mike Attempts are awesome.

[@357magdad]

I definitely prefer the non-aerosol WD-40.

[@rogerstlaurent8704]

Don't you just love when a Company makes a one time use product i wonder how many people knew about this trick on a WD-40 spray bottle can .. Great Tip Mr Magdad learned something new this morning Take care enjoy your day anything special for Sunday's video ????

[@357magdad]

I was gonna buy a generic spray bottle. I'm glad I found Mike's video!

[@choppermike3329]

At the Hardware store where I work people ask for WD 40 and they say they want to use it on their sliding doors or hinges as a lubricant. I try to explain it was invented as a water displacement, hence WD and I think it was formula #40. Anyways it's not good as a lubricant since it wears off quickly. Love the product though, lots of uses. Refill gallon is the way to go if you use it often. The tiny little cans are around $6 at our store! Great video Magdad.

[@Dino_Buk]

There exist more products from WD-40 called Specialist. Recommend them: WD-40 Specialist - Gel Lube or WD-40 Specialist - Silicone.

[@357magdad]

I haven't tried them.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Mike!

[@christopherlusk9385]

Thanks, Old Chuck has many talents.

[@357magdad]

Chuck is amazing!

[@robertlevine2152]

Magdad, As always, good information. You can buy a Zep Commercial 32 oz. Spray Bottle for $4.71. Using the Zep spray bottle would save about $17.00 less the value of the WD-40 in the spray can, and you lose the can's character. You can buy a WD-40 Spray Bottle for $25.47. If I ever get into a need for high volume, I'd go for a Zep Bottle. Bob

[@357magdad]

Thanks Bob! I bought the Trigger Pro to try out non-aerosol WD-40 before committing to the gallon.

[@rollerbald]

Good info MagDad. I need to get one of those. The pressurized cans always dispense more than I need making a mess.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Bill! I really like the non-aerosol WD-40.

[@westhighlandsshop]

Cool video and great hack. I don't use the trigger style, but probably should be. There is a time and place for both! Your product type videos are getting better and better, keep them coming!

[@357magdad]

Thanks David! I really like the non-aerosol WD-40.

[@larrydemaar409]

Good tip. Why not just use a plastic spray bottle with the gallon WD-40?

[@frankwaters2133]

That was my first thought, considering spray nozzles I've used tend to eventually leak / malfunction anyway. This method would give someone a very nicely labelled container though. I wonder if Magdad might comment on the perceived quality of the spray nozzle? They're certainly not all the same in my experience.

[@pinkerbot]

Exactly!

[@357magdad]

I bought the Trigger Pro to try out non-aerosol WD-40 without committing to a whole gallon. I really liked the non-aerosol and the Trigger Pro can so I wanted to refill it.

[@357magdad]

I've had that Trigger Pro can for at least a couple years and it still works great.

[@_BigLife_]

I didn't even know they made the non aerosol. I've just been refilling spray bottles for years.

[@johnmclaurin]

I use it often but only as a rust preventative…it’s still a go to for many things but we use it to get stains out! Great video!

[@357magdad]

I like to hose stuff down with WD-40 when it comes out of the Evapo-Rust.

[@thenkgarage]

I’ve been buying WD40 by the gallon for s few years now, definitely a huge savings. I didn’t know they made this non aerosol bottle. I have been using trigger style oilers but they dont hold as much and don’t have that adjustment. Good to know!

[@357magdad]

[@donemmerton9720]

Great video, I will have to see if we have those cans up here. Take care.

[@357magdad]

I definitely prefer non-aerosol WD-40!

[@PennsylvaniaMike]

Great little hack. I am storing this one in my little bag of tricks. Thanks.

[@357magdad]

If you see a half empty Trigger Pro can at a yard sale grab it!

[@PennsylvaniaMike]

@@357magdad Will do thanks.

Sure thing!

[@mipd1980_edc]

Love saving some money where I can!! companies can be a little greedy some times!!

[@357magdad]

It's possible WD-40 didn't want anybody refilling their bottle with a different chemical for liability reasons.

[@briansworkshop01]

Great video thanks for sharing the hack 👍👍

This is a PSA! You have such great content. Thanks!

[@357magdad]

I'm glad you enjoyed it Sue!

[@patjohnson3100]

Very interesting. Years ago I bought a gallon of WD 40 and a spray can which you could refill simply by unscrewing the sprayer. No locking ring. It was (and still is) a much better economic deal than buying individual aerosol cans. I guess WD40 decided to get clever with its packaging. Never thought I would use a gallon of WD40, but I did. Thanks for the historical background, especially the early can with the paper label. WD40 now also owns 3 in 1 oil products.

[@357magdad]

I bought the Trigger Pro because I didn't want to commit to a gallon. I'm all in now!

The commercial spray bottles are probably OK. I bought the Trigger Pro to see if I liked non-aerosol WD-40 before committing to a gallon.

[@oldguyknots]

I have the gallon container and a WD-40 plastic spray bottle. I hadn't seen the non-aerosol can. I'll have to keep an eye out for one in case that plastic spray bottle breaks down.

This would make a great re fill bottle sprayer for “Ed’s red” home brew penetrant oil.

[@charlesmckinley29]

Will the sprayer hold up to the Acetone? Where do you get lanolin?

Interesting. I haven't seen a can of wd40 like that yet. Course I buy the gallon as well so really hadn't looked for it.. I'll keep an eye out though now.. thanks- great tip

I bet you'll find one at an estate sale this year!

[@frankg3072]

[@357magdad]

Thanks Frank!

[@andyc972]

Thanks Magdad, that's handy to know, the Maths speaks for itself, like many things WD40 seems to have gone up a lot in recent years, I used to regularly get the 16oz cans for under £3 on offer up to a couple of years ago !

[@357magdad]

Thanks Andy! I find that I can control the non-aerosol better and waste less.

Yes, it looks good but we don't seem to have that here yet, good if it saves waste !

[@charlesmckinley29]

I did an inflation calculator based on the 1948 ad and the 12 ounce can comes out to about $26 2025 USD.

I bought the Trigger Pro to give non-aerosol WD-40 a try. I prefer it over the aerosol.

[@garyjones2582]

Well since your video, they will get rid of the threaded cap and it will be sealed.. Have you seen any of the videos where they refill the original cans and pressurize them to approx 90 psi.. There is also a can that you can put almost anything in it and you can pressurize it.. I still get cans of WD-40 that run out of pressure and still have 1/4 of the comments left.. Sometimes I think they plan it that way... Good video MD... Take care my friend and God Bless...

[@357magdad]

Thanks Gary! They'll prolly start gluing the cap on!

[@garyjones2582]

For sure... lol..

[@dosop8936]

Probably be easier to cut the locking ring vertically on both sides rather than cut the whole locking ring off horizontally

[@357magdad]

I am happy with how the cap works now.

[@sheilajenkins8084]

Very useful idea. However, it was not the "corvair" Atlas rocket - the word corvair remains forever associated with a really terrible Chevy product - it was "Convair" Atlas, named after the Convair company, a San Diego based rocket company. They lasted in the military industrial complex until the late 90s, when I think General Dynamics had them for lunch one day. As always, I enjoy your videos.

[@357magdad]

Thanks!

[@TheCleric42]

Even with Chuck’s math, I can’t afford your fancy lubricant. I’ll have to stick with 39-and-a-half.

[@charlesmckinley29]

WOW! $2 in 1948 USD is about $26 in 2025 USD. Thanks for showing the old ads.

[@357magdad]

So it's close to today's price. Thanks Charlie!

[@charlesmckinley29]

$7.68 for a 12 oz. can at Wallyworld so todays price is less than 1/3 the 1948 price.

[@vanislescotty]

What????? You missed a golden opportunity to Flitz the top of the can. Chuck must be so disappointed. On a serious not, would WD-40 work in a squirt bottle from the dollar store? That would save the initial $21 outlay. But then, there wouldn't be a much anticipated 357magdad video. Who would watch you pour it from a gallon container into a $1 squirt bottle.

[@357magdad]

Chuck was happy to help me with my math. I bought the Trigger Pro to try out non-aerosol WD-40 without committing to a gallon of it.

[@vanislescotty]

@357magdad that all makes sense. Glad Chuck not only likes Flitz, but math as well. It is a simple hack for those who buy the squirt bottle. I'm trying to figure out if I would ever use a gallon of WD-40. Thanks again for the video.

[@357magdad]

@@vanislescotty That gallon is gonna last me 10 years!

[@ihrescue]

@@357magdad You mention a gallon can lasting 10 years. I had purchased a multi pack of aerosal can WD 40 from the early warehouse store Pace and that crazy supply lasted many years. But here was the rub, I often had lost aerosol propellent while still having some considerable supply of WD40 in the can. So me being thrifty I used a spring load punch and punctured the can up in the reinforced dimple at the top where the side meets the top and made an opening to vent the little gas still in the can and then drain the rest of the WD 40 to use it. I put it in a jar and transfer it to small bottles with glass eye droppers that were saved from some food source and they work great. I am still using that salvaged WD 40 from pressure-less cans for a couple of decades. Crazy to think how many thousands of cans went into the waste stream that had considerable ounces left of a solution that uses so little in the first place. I have also done this with Spray on dry silicone lube to good success.

[@GuntersGarage]

Wow, thats pretty salty for a spray can of WD, shew ! 💸😂

[@357magdad]

That's why I bought the gallon!

[@GuntersGarage]

@ it will be a really cool piece of memorabilia in 10-20 years when they come out with something new.
