WD-40

[Coyote]

Anybody bought any WD-40 lately? Much improved dispenser and you can no longer loose the little red hose. It's a flip up flip down deal. The hose is permanently attached. Flip up for pin point and flip down for full spray. NEAT! I can't tell you how many times I have lost that little red hose that was held on by a lick and a promise. All I can say -- it's about time. Way to go WD-40.

I didn't think we'd be one of the first Countries to be supplied (Australia)with WD40 spray with the nozzle that you're talking about. It has been for sale here in excess of 2 years,maybe more...!!!Yes it's better than the "loose" straw. Another one that I use is INOX Spray,also comes with "Lanolin" no silicon,no kerosene, a good "Aussie" Product

Nope, the flip up dispenser has been in the US for about two years as well. It may not be in all 50 states yet, although Chris recently noticed it in his neck of the woods.
Everything comes at a price though, under the big red/silver cap is a newly designed hard plastic thin white stem made into the cans valve.
Should the can fall from a table where it inverts before hitting the ground the little stem breaks off and now you cant spray it anymore.
The older way of using a flexible stem going into the valve on the can was way more durable.

So where DO all those little red WD40 stems finally go, I've lost so many over the years, and they were never to be seen again.

Its those dang workshop / garage gremlins Allan .. they just are waiting around for you to drop that tiny c clip or that wrench you just set down and now its not there so now you know .. when those red tubes shoot off the can of WD40 there they are running away with it before you can say WTF

I'm not impressed with any lubricating oils in current time. Much less product than years past, at twice the cost. But, like everything else. Paying more for less. Food, cleaning products, gas. You name it. You buy a can of what ever cleaning or lubricating product that you can think of. One or two squirts and it's gone.

I guess I just now noticed it. I don't use a lot of WD-40, but my 10 year old can finally ran out. The little red tube had been MIA for about 8 years.
WD-40 is not a lubricating oil and it doesn't claim to be. Everyone knows it does dry up and leaves nothing behind. For this very reason I prefer Tri-Flow. A little pricey but a great product.

Their Water Resistant Silicone Lubricant might be what we have been waiting for. A chain lube that doesn't sling off.

Been using this stuff for several years. It's fantastic. Goes on wet, seeps down in the places you need lubrication on a chain. The rollers, pins and plates. Dries in few minutes to a very light grease with absolutely no mess or the slightest sling. $5 a can, give it a try you'll really like it.

Where do you usually get the Dupont product ?

I've always bought it at Home Depot or Lowes. But, within the last year or so I noticed Walmart has been putting it in it's motorcycle section near the automotive products also. It's usually a buck or two cheaper at Home Depot or Lowe's. Those stores usually put it on an end of a shelf near the tools. It's a lot better than chain lube, for a few reasons. Chain lube doesn't penetrate the crevices. The only thing it's good for is keeping surface rust off the plates. Squirt it in the cracks between the links and rollers. The fact that it's runny when you apply it, allows it to go where you need it. It dries to a light and clear solid. Sticks extremely well. Keeps bike very clean. Most impressive thing about it, it flings absolutely no where. It's especially good for non o-ring. But, I use it on both just incase the O-rings are beginning to crack.
