Just gone out into the yard and sprayed some WD-40 on the garden gate hinges as a mark of respect!

Guess the Pearly Gates don't squeak any more... [Sorry - it just had to be said]

He was responsible for the most useful item in my toolbox, though. :salute:

Nothing beats the smell of WD40. It's one of my favourites.

Hi

My first experience of WD40 was in the forces where it came in 5 gallon containers and was applied with a hand spray. We used it as a water displacer and protectant on aircraft and it was referred to as Rocket 40 .......... now I know why.

Regards Mick

I've often thought that there should be a WD40 perfume for the women who really care

Oh and some kind of 'Freshly cut wood' scented deodorant too
