Anyone with a shed. Of course any type of oil beats WD40 at that job too. So how do you apply it? This is what I use to oil tools.(when I remember) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npKo1y2e8RI |

You astound me. I've never seen or heard of a comparative test of different penetrating oils. I'm not doubting you, by the way. I've not seen a single youtube testing of penetrating oils that has put WD40 anywhere other than in last place. In short, it isn't one. Water Dispersant. One of its abilities and where the original product got its name... In reality a light machine oil mixed in a volatile low viscosity carrier. You could give it any number of other names, but the fact that its something obscure and non obvious is probably quite good from a marketing point of view - stops it being "typecast". Except that its use as a lubricant can be worse than nothing. The carrier evaporates, leaving a sticky residue that holds dust and dirt and clogs mechanisms - which is why it is strongly advised not to use it on model trains and the like. You are of course aware that they now use the same name on a number of different products, including a white lithium grease, a silicone grease, a penetrant, and dry lubricant? I keep meaning to try a couple of them. SteveW |

Left handed, surely, as everybody else has said. No, the locking screw is left handed but the thread on the chuck is right handed. I can confirm that because after leaving things after this mornings failed attempt the WD40 seems to have worked its magic over the last few hours Well, good to hear some evidential feedback of a WD-40 success, rather than the usual dismissive "armchair" rhetoric ;-) -- Jim K ----Android NewsGroup Reader---- http://usenet.sinaapp.com/ |

I expect a number of other fluids would have been effective. I expect low viscosity was probably more important than lubricating properties. For all I know white spirit might have even done the trick whereas cycle oil might not have penetrated down the threads. |
