I fricking hate seeing morons literally using WD-40 for everything. If there's something that needs lubrication, they just spray some WD-40 on it, as if it's some magical general-purpose oil that works well on everything. Some rednecks even lube their guns with it. It's literally just penetrating oil. You spray it on things where you want the oil to move up or if you want to remove a rusty nut or bolt, although it literally has shit performance for everything it claims to do. The only penetrating oil that actually has decent performance is liquid wrench, but you don't see people carrying that around. What inspired me to create this thread is seeing a moronic old boomer lubricate an 1898 artillery gun with literal fricking WD-40. Even fricking vegetable oil would've been a better choice.
He was fricking cleaning the bore with WD-40.
>He was fricking cleaning the bore with WD-40.
Why didn't you tell him this, why are you telling us? It's probably some kind of hazing ritual they do to all the pimple-faced museum volunteers to establish if they have social skills.
Will that cause damage to the gun?
No, it wont do anything harmful, and it will probably clean the bore perfectly fine. People just like to be uppity
wd works fine for most things and it smells good. its not harsh ans toxic like the other shit. its mosltly mineral oil
Project Farm literally proved that liquid wrench is the only penetrative fluid that is actually worth buying. All the other ones, including Kroil, have shit performance in comparison.
wd 40 isnt a penetrating oil its a water displacer, solvent, amd mild lubricant
I don't even think they advertise their own product as being a solvent, but it is definitely a water displacer, but it sucks ass as a lubricant. It's only useful for removing some squeaking.
Quit shilling your shitty fricking YT channel here
The problem is his test tests the fluids over the span of an hour, but I feel like while wd isnt the strongest is at least the fastest acting. It does something instantly even if that isn't much.
Project farm can go suck an autistic riddled dick
Do you honestly think hes flexible enough to suck his own dick?
Noice
>Project Farm
I watch that shit and love it, also wranglestar too.
Literal Amazon shill.
But anon, if Todd doesnt buy from amazon, how else is he going to give you Amazon Affiliate links?
>be me
>trailer jack seized up rusted for sitting uncovered over a year
>spray with wd-40
>have a poop and a cigarette
>come back
>trailer jack turns smoothly
>literally proved
Literally proved there is frick-all difference between them.
Anon it's fricking thin oil that gets pulled in by capillary effect not exactly rocket surgery. Buy the cheapest shit you can find, which will be wd-40.
I used to love project farm but then he sold out and turned into a shill
What products is he shilling?
Oh don't bother. The Todd haters are the same whiny b***hes who got the seeker threads banned. They migrated from plebbit and just won't go back.
Are the threads actually banned? I thought he just stopped doing anything interesting. The last 4 or 5 threads had been absolutely nothing burgers already
Not sure what anon was talking about, but some of the videos are kind of gay when like 60% of the products are Chinesium Amazon labels and it’s missing major offerings from Home Depot, Lowe’s, and Harbor Freight. Or he tests like Stanley and DeWalt stuff sold on Amazon from some random seller but not the version sold at the actual brick and mortar stores.
>Rape Seed
That’s what I’m talking bout!
Not that anon, but by definition hes a shill.
He now has an amazon affiliate link for every tool he tests. He makes a kickback for every tool you buy, and the more expensive the tool, the better the kickback.
He has a vested interest in you buying tools from 3rd party resellers on amazon.
Thats why his tool selection is always so fricking moronic, and why his tool prices are always so inflated.
Have you not noticed the trend where no matter what the actual results show, he ALWAYS recommends one of the most expensive saying "its great if you can afford it" and one of the cheapest saying "buy a ton of these cause they are cheap!"
It didnt used to be like that before his affiliate links.
whats that? i can't here you over your mothers raptures as a penetrate her with the lubricant of the gods - pb blaster.
I find that PB blaster has a more pleasant aroma. That's just me though.
>as if it's some magical general-purpose oil that works well on everything.
...it is
It isn't. It's a shit performing lubricant that millions of people waste money on.
It works, that means it works well. Nobody cares about performance comparisons.
>It works, that means it works well.
It is an extremely shit performing penetrating oil. You might as well not use it. It's not going to help you out if you actually need some decent assistance. Watching this video from Project Farm literally shocked me. The shit barely works, but it works just enough to make a noticeable difference.
>muh performance
Nobody cares
Liquid Wrench is cheaper per ounce than WD-40 and literally blows it out the water in performance. It was actually engineered well.
>muh performance
Nobody cares
It's literally a dollar cheaper than WD-40.
And a can of either lasts years, nullifying the effective price difference. Half the price? You might have a point... a fuxking dollar cheaper? My brother in christ you lose more than that yearly to inflation.
Basically
>muh price performance ratio
Nobody cares
>And a can of either lasts years, nullifying the effective price difference.
WD-40 works just enough to have a noticeable effect, but Liquid Wrench actually works as a highly-effective penetrating oil. It was well engineered, and it does what it's supposed to do. WD-40 isn't going to save you if you really need something to help you get out a tight bolt, while Liquid Wrench will. Seriously, watch the video mentioned in OP to see the extreme difference in performance. WD-40 is literally a joke by comparison.
>muh performance
Nobody cares
Alright, I literally just did some math based on the data from the video. Liquid Wrench is around 22 times as effective as WD-40, not 22% more effective than WD-40, 22 TIMES as effective as WD-40.
>I literally just did some math based on the data from the video
May we see it?
see
The same methodology, same test setup only a month later showed that WD40 was 4% worse than using nothing at all.
>within margin of error for the given sample size
Sad!
>Project farm
>Proof
Go back. He won't give you the Turbo Gawk for this unhinged amount of shilling.
>shilling
Found the homosexual who's never watched a whole video. If so you'd know he buys everything he tests. But don't let that fact stop you from being a contrarian dickhead.
Todd pls…
And decides how everything will be tested you fricking buffoon. The rigour and sample size is so laughably insignificant to draw a conclusion from. Great Value Consumer Reports.
You like autistic men because you share their unhinged obsessions. I get it but did anyone believe you when you told them that Grindr is for buying and selling tools?
>The rigour and sample size is so laughably insignificant to draw a conclusion from.
For this one particular video, that may be true, since there was a sample size of four for each penetrating oil, but the sheer difference in performance between Liquid Wrench and every other brand should be proof enough that it is the superior penetrating oil.
I had never heard of this Project Farm guy, but the video you posted has converted me. Bought a shirt, signed up for patreon, subscribed, the whole bit!
I have always been a WD40 guy, but the first video shows it was smack dab in the middle of the pack needing an average of 121ft lbs of torque to break free!
I went on and watched his round 2 video that was posted only a month later, same methodology and setup.
Imagine my surprise when I found out that WD40 actually made the rust STRONGER and take MORE FORCE to remove than just going in dry! A whopping 136ft lbs the second go round!
Thats just science though!
One day your WD40 makes it 4% easier to remove your bolts, the next it makes it 4% harder!
The pinnacle of scientific testing, he's the modern Consumer Reports!
I'd say go back but I prefer that you just have a nice day
How can I kill myself with this newfound knowledge that WD40 makes bolts harder to remove!?
Project Farm has made my life worth living!
>I had never heard of this Project Farm guy, but the video you posted has converted me. Bought a shirt, signed up for patreon, subscribed, the whole bit!
Why are boomers like this?
>I had never heard of this Project Farm guy
post your L's somewhere else
My word you sound like a rambling teenage edgelord. Stop being so personally offended. Hahaha you queer.
Remember that time where he changed all his criteria to artificially make a youtubers product look better than it actually was, because he knew it was bringing in all the views?
And when it didnt win all the categories, at the end he flipped and cherrypicked categories of results to make it look better?
Everyone else remembers, why dont you?
His videos have been garbage for at least a year now, not that his originals were super good or anything
>Everyone else remembers, why dont you?
Who the hell is "everyone else"? You can't just go making shit up and assign imaginary support without a fricking source.
I would genuinely like to know what video so I can see for myself. I don't even need the link, just tell me what he was testing and I'll search it. If it's as egregious as you say, then let the video speak for itself.
get a load of this clown who thinks everybody else is wrong and he is right. you have to laugh.
Must be new here if you missed the month long shitstorm where no-tool PrepHolegays were posting threads and getting slammed.
Must have never been in any PF thread at all before.
Its the LTT Screwdriver one.
Linus Tech Tips spent 3 years modifying a megapro screwdriver.
Day 1 its claim was that it will be better than SnapOn a the same price of $70
>$70 chinese megapro ratchet, proprietary short bits, bad warranty and $35 import shipping fees
Project farm proceeds to
>buy $144 PB swiss *kit* as a kit instead of just plain screwdriver at $90
>buys $90 rubber overmolded instinct snap on screwdriver instead of the $70 hard handle LTT is meant to beat
>buys oddball megapro screwdriver with nonstandard reversible bits and no magnet as opposed to the automotive megapro which the LTT is based of.
Odd how the top 2 competitors to the LTT screwdriver are artificially shown as more expensive than they really are
Odd how the Megapro is shown as having no magnet and not using regular bits when it actually does (both are "selling points" of the LTT screwdriver)
Some other odd things
>ltt screwdriver is made in china (he proudly stated he moved production from Taiwan to china)
>project farm doesn’t mention country of origin like he does in literally every other video
>ltt screwdriver has bad warranty (had no written warranty when video was made)
>project farm doesn’t mention warranty like he does in literally every other video
>ltt screwdriver does worst in failure testing
>project farm doesn’t chart the failure tests like he does in literally every other video
>ltt screwdriver doesn’t win the bit retention test
>project farm says category not needed and removes it to move LTT to the top
You see, just leave out reliability, blank out one of the "selling points" of the LTT which it got beat at, keep the worthless joke tests in and it wins!
Beats the PB Swiss which is twice the price (since I paid $50 extra for the kit!)
It sure is odd how he refused to show the internals of the PB Swiss and SnapOn like he does in literally every other video. (Both are far more stoutly built than megapro, which uses cheap stamped steel pawls and plastic everywhere)
Only shows Wera, Mega, and LTT.
Makes a huge point to try and make the Mega and LTT look different, when in reality the only change is a cheap plastic reversing lever as per LTTs own fricking videos.
He even goes as far as saying "the two screwdrivers are definitely not the same"
It wasnt a testing video, it was a 20 minute ad for an extremely popular and widely requested video.
He did everything he possibly could to make it come out on top and rake in the brownie points with LTT and all his new subscribers.
Is that what objectivity looks like to you?
Intentionally poisoning the well with the main competition and then omitting everything negative about the star of the show?
If he had any balls, he would talk about how backdrag is largely due to the lubricant used, or that adding unnecessary shims and unnecessary plastic reversing levers just hurts reliability. Every single "selling point" to the LTT just makes the $35 megapro more expensive while not adding any more usability.
Instead he chose that he wanted to network for future youtube collabs.
You should have never trusted him in the first place, with how bad his testing it. But now there isnt even the illusion of objectivity anymore.
You are pretty moronic if you hadnt figured that out by now.
> things that make you go hmmmm….
Never noticed that, but I’d still cut ol todd some slack, think of that episode as a one-off joke episode for entertainment purposes. Like fox news.
I have a stanley ratcheting screwdriver i got at wallmart and never used once… messed up packaging, $5.
The LTT guy seems a bit arrogant, and there is no way anyone can justify $70 for a fricking manual screwdriver.
no kobalt QL3?
I made a purchase decision based on one of the videos. I bought a set of ball nose screw drivers. There was quite a lot of difference in the tradeoff of the material -- harder more brittle alloys which failed suddenly under torsion, and there was also a difference in the hardness of the surface treatment.
I didn't expect any of that to make a difference; I thought they just put different pieces of colored plastic on the same steel. But like I said, there was a visible difference in the fail methods due to the metal.
I don't remember who won or what the numbers were. A lot of the testing criteria is facetious, like he is coming up with tests to pad the video length. But if he has fun, who gives a shit? He is controlling the variables and communicating the results, so it is actual science, unlike most of the dumbass regurgitating that happens whenever woodworking tools are brought up. In fact, stupidity in general is largely associated with woodworkers. Most people who work with metal eventually acquire some theoretical knowledge and the ability to do basic math, which apparently you don't need to build wood tables.
I sincerely and highly doubt he needs your single fricking view, homosexuals.
why are you autisticly raging? a bottle is cheap and works fine for most household tasks.
>a bottle is cheap and works fine for most household tasks.
morons who use it for literally everything piss me off. I hate Idiocracy-tier morons like that. Also, it's a literal shit product that's also a household name. They make more money than the competition, despite delivering an inferior product.
>it's a literal shit product
it works great tho
wd40 sales would go down by half if phillips head screws did not exist.
This is good bait.
Good bait, but you're the only anon who replied to it.
People use cologne for lubricant?!
>You spray it on things where you want the oil to move up
I've found it to also work in cases where I wanted the oil to move down.
Shows how much you know.
for me its LM-40
WD40 is absolute shit. So is Liquid Wrench. Homeowners don't research what lubricant to use, they buy the brand they've heard of.
PB B'laster is the absolute best penetrant on the market.
>So is Liquid Wrench.
Liquid Wrench is still the best penetrating oil. If you need oil to reach some tight spaces, then that's the product you should use, as evident from testing. If you need to lubricate something or prevent corrosion, then you need to use a different product.
High mr farms
Lol, I know right..
Mufu OP, why you so invested?
>Show me on the doll where WD-40 touched you.
Liquid wrench penetrating oil smells so bad. That shit makes the garage smell like death for a week. I don’t know what they put in it but none of the other 10+ brands of penetrating oils I ever used leave that musk.
>the garage smell like death for a week
This. We're not allowed to use Liquid Wrench.
Any real shop smells like gear oil and transmission fluid all the time anyways.
There is more to it than the smell. Some of the chemicals around the shop are pretty gnarly even though their smells are outweighed by other chemicals. The whole thing can add up to a pretty revolting environment. I try to keep everything under control.
Liquid wrench has PTFE in it, so its way better than WD40 for a catch all spray
PB Blaster doesnt even penetrate better than WD40 does, it just smells nastier.
Works great for almost everything
Is good for the skin
It just werks
OP BTFO.
>Autismo the post
WD-40 is nice around the house because it evaporates and goes away, and it doesn't smell like shit.
It is a very good solvent/cleaner and a mild lubricant. It also is good for displacing water. hence the name WD(water displacement). It was originally designed to protest aero-space parts from rusting and corroding. WD-40 is good for spraying into dirty electrical connectors. Although, it will leave a small film.
It's not the best penetrating oil, and if you are working on a car with rusty bolts there are better options. but wd-40 is better than nothing.
If you are trying to lubricate something long term you need a grease or oil.
>WD-40 is nice around the house because it evaporates and goes away, and it doesn't smell like shit.
Same thing with Liquid Wrench. All penetrating oils are highly volatile, which means they evaporate easily. Liquid Wrench does everything WD-40 does, but 20 times better.
>muh performance
Nobody cares
>Everyone should care
Exactly this. If you need a particular type of product, you might as well buy the best one on the market instead of getting the same overpriced piece of shit.
>so it dries
As does every other penetrating oil.
>As does every other penetrating oil.
The point being, when your penetrating fluids "lubricant" is mineral oil, the mineral oils no longer lubricate once it dries.
PFTE is often times sprayed as a dry lubricant, it doesnt evaporate and it continues to provide lubrication.
PTFE being included in a penetrant just makes sense for dingbats who use the sprays as a catch all.
>it doesnt evaporate and it continues to provide lubrication.
Then it's superior to the ones with mineral oil. PTFE has the lowest coefficient of friction of any solid.
Liquid wrench has PTFE in it, so it dries but still lubricates a million times better
Everyone should care
>everyone should care
Nobody cares
>Nobody cares
That much is certain, I mean look at how many people continue to watch and shill a youtube channel that puts out complete garbage videos, when its obvious how much of a hack he is.
All that matters is being entertained by Todd, the man with the personality of drying paint.
Lots of people care.

Hey, be happy WD-40 exists and is popular, because then Liquid Wrench needs to have a low price to compete. If WD-40 wasn't so popular, Liquid Wrench would be more expensive. So shut up and buy your Liquid Wrench.
Liquid wrench sucks though, its not worth the lower price.
Liquid Wrench is actually cheaper per ounce than WD-40. It just comes in bigger bottles.
for me it is rivolta fl5

That makes sense. Consumer Reports was always dogshit.

They want to """evict""" anons from PrepHole, make its revenue drop and then buy it for little, they've been trying for years. I shit you not.
israelites are bugmen Black person apes.
For me it's Inox.
awesome, another project farms thread, I love that guy!
Vegetable oil will polymerize so, no it would not be a better choice as lubricant.
>You spray it on things where you want the oil to move up
>move uo
wut means
Penetrating oils have a low viscosity and exhibit strong capillary action. They also have a high volatility, which means they evaporate easily.
wd40 is cheap and prolific
that said what few times i need to lube some shit up i hit that shit with Ballistol. It's highly TACTICOOL you see
Man I never knew I should buy autismo micro brands of lubricant to use on door hinges instead of WD40, thanks OP
wd40 is literally not a lubricant
>autismo micro brands of lubricant
Your grandpa used 3 in 1 oil, just like literally everyone else did.
You know, that small micro brand nobody has ever heard of
The best lubricant for door hinges is unironically olive oil. Just pour some on a paper towel or rag, give the hinge a quick wipe, operate the hinge a few times, and never hear a squeek again. Learned this while staying at Greek airbnb's where every single door squeeked and every airbnb came with olive oil.
>olive oil
what about wax or coconut oil
Coconut and olive oil both go rancid
You gonna suck it out of the hinge? Sure it goes rancid but it never dries, stays slippery forever.
>cheap cleaner/degreaser
>hurt don't use it for lubrication!
yeah that's not its intent
I use wd40 to get my girlfriends earrings off
Quit being a cheap frick and buy her real gold.
>Even fricking vegetable oil would've been a better choice.
i disagree: oils with low smoke points like that tend to diesel easily
if you clean an air rifle with something like vaseline it quickly becomes extra Fun
You're not exactly making the case that it's a bad choice, anon.
>posts project farm video
>doesnt realize he is unironically the type of moron he is whining about
WD40 is the fricking best.... Plus it smells like heaven. It's all I've ever needed. Pb, liquid wrench, kroll.... Etc. They are ok. But WD is king.
I use it for displacing water
Ive brought bike chains back to life with that stuff. Miracle, indeed.
Based op I hate it too. People will use it for absolutely everything rather than spending a moment to research, ask, or even read labels for a more appropriate product for their task.
It results in a moronic brand driven market where you constantly have to make do with sub par generic products because that's what people want. I swear people use wd40 for no reason other than it's the one they're most familiar with.
Im going to use it even more.
>links a pro gay farm vid
Opinion discarded
>using WD-40 for everything.
I do because in most applications I want a mix of lubrication and a corrosion inhibitor.
I think “wood” magazine tested a bunch of products for preventing rust on cast iron tablesaw tops, and wd-40 was among the best.
Myself, i notice when WD-40 “dries” it leaves a rainbow film (kind of like gasoline does on water) in the sunlight.
Frick off L*quid Wr*nch shill. I'll never buy that shit because of your post. And neither should anyone else.
Use it for cleaning and freeing up seized parts but as a lube it's not very good
>anon watches a single e-celeb video claiming wd40 bad
>immediately becomes convinced everyone who uses it is a moronic sheep
Good thread, let's do it again next year
>immediately becomes convinced everyone who uses it is a moronic sheep
No. I watched that video later. What pissed me off was seeing a boomer oiling an old 19th century artillery piece with fricking WD-40, and I was reminded of morons who use it for literally everything.
Its just contrarianism
Everyone has a hate boner for WD40 because its popular. Since its popular, you see more people misusing it.
Ironically enough, I too used to hate WD40 with a passion and only buy Liquid Wrench. Turns out its the only other brand at Walmart, and its cheaper.
Funny how that works.
>only other brand at Walmart
>not using SuperTech
Wasted digits
>stuck up contrarian
>buying walmart brand anything
Its all about convincing yourself that the most expensive thing is overrated and no worth it, but the cheapest thing is still too cheap and for idiots. So you convince yourself you are smarter than everyone else, go off the beaten path and buy something in the mid-tier thinking its a hidden treasure.
Bepis, you know all about this mindset my guy
Me and all my Supertech…
Speaking of Todd, somebody post the oil videos!
I agree. I think the most pitiable thing is people who assume it's a long-lasting lubricant, when it's really only good for 1 or 2 minutes of trying to get something free
>The only penetrating oil that actually has decent performance is liquid wrench
CLP "break free" is good stuff too, it's the go-to around me, and it smells nice
>CLP "break free" is good stuff too, it's the go-to around me, and it smells nice
Clenzoil is a bit better than Break Free CLP, but Break Free is just second after Clenzoil.

Works fine for me. I mean I'm not gonna use it as car or chainaw oil of course, but it works wonders for small mechanical friction gum-ups
if you're in a machine shop use M1, they probably have it. it's made by starrett and i am surprised no one has brought it up yet. it's an extremely thin film lubricant and protectant designed for precision measuring instruments. naturally, hick machinists use it for everything from a weak penetrating oil to air tool oil to what it's supposed to be used for.
https://www.starrett.com/category/32#currentPage=1&displayMode=grid&itemsPerPage=12&sortBy=wp/asc
link for it because im moronic and forgot it in the post
Nobody buys that overrated expensive shit, they use Fluid Film
>overrated expensive shit
found the wd-40 addict
M1 is a good product, objectively. you're either a homosexual who doesn't like starrett for some reason or you think some fluid film does the same thing, which i assure you it doesn't.
>muh starrett tax
Go on and explain what the Starrett spray does that Fluid film doesnt, aside from costing more than quadruple the price.
Id love to hear it, because Fluid Film is a lanolin based product. It coats and prevents rust, but comes off gage blocks and other precision equipment cleanly and without dirtying your surface plate unlike petroleum products.
You know, exactly like M1 does, but since Starrett didnt slap a label on it, its far more economical.
M1 isn't sheep oil, it's petroleum distillates. if you really want to be coating your measuring equipment in sheep juice go ahead, i'll be using dinosaurs instead
>if you really want to be coating your measuring equipment in sheep juice go ahead
You mean, like tool and die makers have been doing for a century?
Pure lanolin has literally been the standard forever.
I know you think you are hot shit for just learning about Starrett the company, but you have no clue what you are talking about.
no, lanolin is what cheap chinese companies use. it was the standard forever because it was what we had forever, we've advanced past sheep juice now. does it still work? sure. but it smells like rotting shit, because it is rotting shit, and i would rather have an odorless coating that's perfectly consistent and easily sprays on. if you want to be like the bugmen go ahead but i will use something more advanced and higher quality, my shop isn't some rinky-dink outfit so we don't have to buy rotting sheep oil
kek
Youve already outed yourself anon, you arent going to be able to talk your way out of it.
Its abundantly clear you have little to no experience with this.
Especially given the fact that if you preferred petroleum (and the issues it brings with your surface plate cleanliness) you would know that those people use LPS-2 or other equivalents, not the same exact thing with a different label on it, and a much larger price tag.
But lets not get too distracted.
You assured me that Starrett does things that Fluid Film and lanolin based inhibitors dont.
What exactly are those things? What does M1 do thats so unique and special?
you're a fricking moron. Fluid film works great, and it doesn't have an unpleasant odor.
Imagine being so racist and involuntarily celibate that you start being prejudiced against sheep lmao
M-1 is C9–C16 which would make a pretty good penetrating oil based on the size of the molecule.
It's actually lube or penetrating oil. It's a water displacer. Use it right.
what if i just mix gear oil and petrol in varying proportions depending on the viscosity i need
Do you really want gear oil sullying your stuff?
Do you really want gasoline sitting in a container in your shop?
how does it sully my stuff it has detergent so it even washes things clean
i keep the gasoline in a jar somewhere outside
>Do you really want gear oil sullying your stuff?
I don't care what anyone says, gear oil smells good...
> make my own
Oh, my, don’t buy the raw ingredients and mix your own at 10× Less $.
Even at the wd 40 factory it’s like just a big vat, they mix stuff they bought together and package it for you.
Same with those concrete premix bags and shampoo.
>and shampoo
I have chronic cradles cap that i need to use medicated shampoo to keep in check, so i would need a fricking chemistry lab to mix my own shampoo.
> cradle cap
Probably caused by yeast or something. Kill it with zinc chloride or similar. It’s the active ingredient in mouthwash nowadays. Commercial ones have pyrithione zinc in it. It’s mildly poisonous to bacteria and other things like that. Diaper rash cream is zinc oxide, for example. That and mineral oils which are indigestable to floral infections.
You think i havent tried to kill it?
It comes back, even if i shave my head and my head with anti bacterials daily for two months. Once my hair grows back, it returns.
> killin’ it
A friend of mine had it, started scrubing it with baking soda and used the dove zinc shampoo and conditioner and it went away.
Coming full circle, I wonder if WD-40 would work. Thin, indigestable oil, probably mildly poisionous to things. Plus you’ll smell good.
>"try killing it"
>"oh, it just comes back?"
>"well, have you tried killing it?"
It costs nothing to say nothing...
>Oh, my, don’t buy the raw ingredients and mix your own at 10× Less $.
ATF and acetone is supposed to be far superior than most of the penetrating oils on the market. I've used it and it works. Dunno if it's better or not, but it does work... I have some I mixed up in a gallon jug and put it in a sureshot sprayer. If I know I'll be working on something around the shop that will need a lot of penetrating oil I will grab it for the cheapness. If I just need a little bit I'll grab a can of that supertech lubricant. It's all the same shit basically.
If penetrating oil doesn't help, then I get a bigger impact or a torch out. If that doesn't do the trick then it's rightfully fricked and gets cut apart.
>out of the way plebs
if you need peak penetrating oil performance, ATF/acetone is the king by a long shot
I spray my lathe and things down with it and it seems to stop surface rust nicely without making it too oily like duck oil would.
It's not a lubricant, it's a degreaser cleaner, which is why if frees stuck parts. It's absolutely amazing for that, partly since it's so cheap.
My wife's pussy was dry so I squirted some wd-40 in there and as I went in I immediately slid out and fell off the bed onto the floor killing my dog. Don't use this stuff guys.
it was not because of wd40 anon it was because shes loose
You can buy it at the store, when you press a button stuff comes out the other side, pushes away chips. Some guy did science and showed that it provides a better finish quality than not using anything. Could you use peanut butter instead? Probably. Where would you buy peanut butter? Does it spray out of a can? Do you really want your shit covered in peanut butter?
I've also used it on parts coming out of the parts washer. It displaces water, just like it says on the tin. Is there a more economical solution? Idk.
I will say that I've never used it to lubricate like, bearings and shit. I have eight different types of grease and the same type of silicone lube that Timmy Woods put on his front dérailleur before he won the Tour de France eight times between 1997 and 2014. Good enough for me.
Seriously though, WD-40 is really expensive if you use it for chip clearing like this. I ran through an entire can for two tiny parts.
Those damn millennials, real men use ATF fluid and acetone 50/50mix or more acetone.
> ATF / acetone
Makes sense, the acetone just accelerates the penetration. ATF is a pretty big molecule though (bigger than C20, maybe up to C50 mix) so it can’t get everywhere. Turpentine, for comparison is C10, and diesel is a bunch of stuff from C9 to C25, and wax is >C30
I mostly use it as a water displacer and rust preventer. Works breddy gud. I did use it for drilling steel once when I ran out of rapid tap. Better than nothing.
No, you're an idiot unless you buy one of the products shilled itt. Please fall for my shitty advertising, ty.
Wd50 work for carburator cleaning
I am building a full-moron, 100% hardwood dog kennel. Not yet finished, but just ticked over 1000 screws, the holes for which were all pre-lubed with WD40. Problem?
Pics?
Sir this is PrepHole, we dont do any diy here.
Frame timber is salvaged jarrah 2x4s
Interior, ceiling, under-floor and front boards are spotted gum
Sides and rear boards are belian
Decking is merbau
Window frames meranti
Floor, walls and ceiling all insulated
Double-glazed windows with 10mm-thick acrylic window panes
Extreme-weather insulated dog door
This thing is going to end up at around 700lbs
Got dayum
Still gotta detail the window frames, hinge the ceiling frame and build the roof. Gonna need gas struts too, to help lift the roof. Ceiling frame on top in pic weighs 110lbs
Why?
Is this a side gig? Making ridiculously overbuilt kennels to unsuspecting wealthy pet owners?
You used all those screws and some don't even sit flush. What about glue?
I just don't get it. But to each his own. I hope the dog isn't a young chewer. When my lab mix was a puppy she literally ate wood. A chair, sticks, the baseboard. It was nuts for a while until she grew out of it.
The local beavers are brutal.
>Why?
>Is this a side gig?
No, I had been intending to build one for my dogs for a while and finally got around to it. I wanted to build it so it would last a lifetime. I doubt there would be any buyers if I were to build more. The materials alone cost thousands, and I have put hundreds of hours work into it. I'm just an amateur woodworker and only have a few basic tools.

pb blaster is literally the only thing i have ever used to clean and oil my guns and tools.
meh. wd40 is de-icer.
use sea foam deep creep instead. it is an actual lubricant.
I did consider installing r/c air conditioning and might retro-fit it later, but right now I just want to finish it. Been working on this beast for around 9 months now
>for 9 months
Plan better next time
>9 months. The materials alone cost thousands.
Damn.
I bought a shitty old tank off of a brush fire truck and cut that up and built it into a frame for the dog house I built. Pic related is some of the steel left over from cutting up the tank. I ended up with a lot of extra 1/8" steel for future projects. The tank cost me $75.
Frame completed and putting boards on it. I do have a couple other pictures of it in earlier stages but my daughter is in them and I will not be putting those on PrepHole...
Completed dog house. $75 for the tank, $20 for a box of screws, $160 for the four 200w panel heaters and $18 for the thermostat controlled switch. Plus some cutoff wheels and grinding wheels so lets say $300 total into it. Already had the pallet wood and tin on hand and some pieces of angle out of my steel pile for additional bracing.
Plus like I said before I ended up with a shit load of 1/8" sheet steel for future projects...
One of the dogs getting used to the new dog house.
it's not a great lubricant, it's not a great penetrating oil, it is a pretty good protective spray to prevent rust on tools
and for $3 i can get all of those things
its really good at making homosexuals like op seethe uncontrollably so for that reason i exclusively buy wd-40
WD-40 definitely has its uses, and the sprayer nozzle assy is awesome. I can see why so many DIY'r use it.
But for a rust penetrant my guys buy both the Deep Creep or PB Blaster. They have found that the Deep Creep works better if they have some time or if they think they're going to have to use the torch on it (it doesn't turn into a rolling fire when flamed). The Blaster is used if they need to get it done asap.
For a lubricant they like either Liquid Wrench's lubricant or 3 in 1 oil.
For a protectant they use Fluid Film or LPS-3.
I've watched some of project farms videos and I honestly think he tries to do a good job but some of the testing, like the chainsaw chain sharpening, is very flawed.
