So many naysayers of WD-40 and it's properties.
It got the seized height adjuster on my Victa ute going like clockwork after leaving it on for a week and forgetting it. Probably worked much sooner but that is how long it took for me to look at it again.
Well, my point is, that WD-40 does have its uses - I don't deny that. However, even when it first came onto the Oz market, there were long-established superior penetrating lubricants available.
But for
far too many folks on ODK, it's a case of the 'if the only tool you possess is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail' syndrome.
WD-40's useful properties are very limited indeed; and for a long time now, there have been quite a few far superior multi-function aerosol DWF/penetrant/lubricant products on the market.
And, as I've said in this very thread, its use
will [not may] have long-term detrimental effects in some situations. As it will in a starter motor.
Which are easily avoided, with prior info on what other products are appropriate to use in a given scenario - as I've done here.
I can post a pic of the array of aerosol products in this class I have on hand just now if you want - and yes, it does include WD-40.
