The original designers would be a) proud and b)horrified to see the myriad uses of WD-40...few of which they actually intended.

Re: God bless wd40
Well I had to look up the name as to why it was called WD-40.
Originally developed in 1953 to protect metal parts from rust and corrosion particularly in missiles, WD stands for Water Displacement and the 40 significance is the 40th formula.

Re: God bless wd40
If it should move and it doesn't, use the WD-40.
If it moves and it shouldn't, use duct tape.

Re: God bless wd40
Too many people reach for WD40 when something doesn't want to move. But it leaves behind a sticky film that will be mucky in no time. Silicone spray is far better.
WD40 is 50–60% naphtha. Naphtha can affect you when breathed in and by passing through your skin. Exposure can cause headache, dizziness, nausea and vomiting.
Lighter fluid which is almost 100% naphtha.

Re: God bless wd40
For many years, a can of WD40 along with some duct tape, hacksaw, pliers and a BFH, has been an integral part of the 'home bodger' toolbox
