    NEVER use WD40 on anything mechanical. It is NOT a lubricant. It is a Water Dispersant. WD = Water dispersant, 40 = the 40th formula tried in development.

    PB Blaster is a better product, but I guess this is personal opinion.

    Lubricate metal moving parts like on a padlock? Wow revolutionary.

    PB Blaster has a much higher flash temp, so works much better when using it with heat to break a rusty bolt loose. WD40 burns off at around 500°, but the PB Blaster is good to over 900°. I use WD40 for light work and PB for the hard stuff. WD40 is less expensive here, and the fogger works well to protect things like raw metal until it can be painted. WD40 also cleans off easier than PB, so I use it when I need temporary rust protection.

    I use the top off the WD40 can on my Sea Foam and PB Blaster cans, cause the straw is attached and I don’t squirt myself in the face/eye trying to stuff the impossible to find red straw into the spray head lol.

    Chris Nance — I believe you’re on the right track but a little off the mark. They weren’t developing a rocker fuel, but a corission

    I’d just like to learn how to survive these stories that you have to go page to page for.
    It’s kinda silly and I just close it out and don’t read it.
    Put it all on one page.

    The$#%&!@*is this$#%&!@* Wd40 in a bug out bag? Bag for what when I bug out and become a house cleaner? I made it about 4 pages in. Did they even mention its a great starting fluid?

  16. Tim Meyer said:

    Wd40 was actually invented, they was trying to make a protective coating for the space shuttle. When it didn’t work, but came in handy for other uses… They marketed it. It is one of the only non patented items in circulation, because the owner refused to give up all 40 ingredients… Not that anyone gives a$#%&!@*….lol

  17. Ryan Vallas said:

    Sootch00 has a whole playlist of stuff on his youtube channel. All common things for around the house that have a lot more used than you might think. WD40 is just one of many videos like this in that series. It’s not just for bugout situations…assholes

    It was developed for maritime use to help keep water out of the drive shafts for boat propellers, 40 years before the shuttles flew.

  21. David Commini said:

    It’s like they just stuck a bunch of when SHTF buzzwords in an article about WD40 uses around the home.

    I don’t understand why everyone is freaking out over this post. Tough to remove Tea Stains on your dinner linens is the #1 cause of death in TEOTWAKI situations.
