WD-40 uni-taskers

WD-40 specialized products preview via TG

5 new formulas:

rust-release penetrant
silicone lube
white lithium grease
corrosion inhibitor
rust remover soak

It will be interesting to see how these products perform against competitors. WD-40 says they're "best in class" but that's something PR types hype up with every release.

I recently saw those in Lowes, and though "Hmmm, I never knew that made that other stuff!"

Glad to know it's new and I'm a little less crazy.

Well, you may still be crazy, I don't know, and if so it's definitely not because the non-WD-40 WD-40 products surprised you.

This is totally screwing with everything I thought was right in the world..

Why would WD-40 need all those variations.... it already does all of that itself!!! Right?

Why would the put those horrible bend to stream tip things on them. I have never had one that worked, I hate them with a passion.

I was over at Home depot recently. It seems PB Blaster has also developed a similar product line to the WD-40 products.
In fact they have a large can of what is the same as WD-40. It sells for about half the price of WD-40, has the detachable straw, and works just as good!
Check it out!

My son has an auto repair business, and he swears by PB Blaster.
My old RR employers on the other hand , used to buy cases of CRC by the pallet load.

My 2 cents is......whatever works and is on-sale.

I gotta check the new products out.

I am not a fan of that Smart Straw nozzle arrangement. While handy, it suffers from having too much internal volume. This makes spraying very small amounts impossible. The oil has to fill the large internal passages in the nozzle each time, then the dissolved propellant forces the oil out the straw or orifice. You either end up with more product on your work than you wanted, or end up with a dribbling nozzle making a mess. It's impossible to accurately control the slow.

I'm with you, I hate the two position tips, I'll take the old fashion one anyday.

I bought some WD40 duckbill spray bottles that are refillable, aerosol cans are designed to waste product.

I buy WD40 by the gal and use a spray bottle

 

[camarotoolman]

try some GIBBS, it really is good stuff. A little pricey, but its worth it.

 

[fourtythree]

I also swear by PB Blaster. Best stuff out there for penetrating rust imo.

 

[davesnothere]

5 new formulas? Wd40 didn't already do all the things those could do? I know I've used it for all those tasks before.

I've always used it or any other penetrating oils in a can. I might have to move onto just a spray bottle.

 

[lotsoftools]

WD40 has had these products for a long time. They are labeled Blue Works and are targeted more to industry. I think now they're trying to mainstream the product with the WD40 name.

PB blaster has a great line of products....plus they are made here in Cleveland!
