Young's Law of usenet: After Nazis have been
invoked and called forth from the spirit world,
someone is sure to mention WD-40. The debate
"is it a lubricant or water displacer" is not complete
until someone explains what the letters abbrev. for.
Points are earned by quoting usenet posters of old,
Aristotle, or your own personal experiences with
WD-40. Web pages abound, and are on topic for
the debate. Regardless of how worthy an argument
is, no one is allowed to change sides. The debate
must continue to eternity.

Wd 40 is not a penetrant, it is a water displacement product.

WD40 was developed as a water displacement product.

It certainly is a penetrant, but not the best one.

It is a lubricant, but there are not a lot of applications where it is
an adequate lubricant.

It can also be useful as a solvent.
