A triumph of marketing. Not lubrication.

Pah. I use WD40 a lot, mostly for tool and other metal object
preservation/cleaning, but also for mild lubrication. It's a lot less
messy than the alternatives, and the one can serves for many
applications. I'd say a can of WD40 goes in my Top Ten Tools!

It came top in a tools' survey?

The whole idea of a WD40 frenzy makes me chuckle.

However, good mixed metaphor on BBC Breakfast today (I forget what it was
about). They said: "XXX is another tool in our arsenal". No doubt WD40
is another.
