Default WD-40

I've tried PB Blaster (from the auto parts store, also seen
it in Home Depot). Got a can in the back of the van I've
used for several years. HD also has a dry teflon version of
lubricant, in a spray can, near the PB Blaster.

One advantage to PB Blaster, it sprays in a relatively
straight stream, so I can spray some oil on a part at a
distance. Like brake cables, while laying under the vehicle.

I got this slightly old can of WD-40.

From the git-go, if I needed a tiny bit of lube, about the
least the
thing would apply was around 14 times as much as needed.

Now the can is 1/3 full, it stops spraying altogether. I
thought it
was the spray-head, but I depress the stem on the valve and
nothing
come out. I know there's still propellent in it. Looks like
the
cheapo valve clogged its silly self.

Right on into the trash can. Right?

Seems to me the older WD-40 cans (from the 80's) worked
better'n this.

Know of a comparable commonly available product with a good
valve and
spray-head?

Thx,
