Shredder manufacturers say to avoid WD40.
WD40 is not a general purpose lubricant.

Why do the makers describe it as "The world's number one multi-purpose
lubricant" then?


not sure but a company I worked for banned its use as it caused more
problems than it fixed, and it became a disciplinary offence if you were
caught using it, and we were then issued with a normal oil can,
I did read on the web under certain conditions it will corrode
metal(which might be a myth)
