Who Invented WD-40?

That was good.

Holy water. Performs miracles.

Should've used WD-40 on your lungs before you tried that list

Out of curiosity, I looked at their "list of 2000+ uses," and "lubricate(s)" appears 703 times. I also noticed several other heavily repeated phrases. My guess is that their list of "2000+" uses is probably closer to 50-100 if they just condensed all the repeated uses that just change the specific part it is used on.

PB Blaster is a lot better

I can't understand a word your saying...
Your speaking way to fast....
And in a monotone voice....
😔 how sad and frustrating as I was really interested in this...
🤔😌

Work done 40

WD-40:
One blow Will make your penis🤷🏼‍♂️grow
🤣!!!!

Make a dry lubricant as well.

Deterring squirrels from climbing bird feeder posts? Freakin good info. Thanks fact boy!
It's very disappointing that the company screwed the creator, but that's typical company fashion to screw their skilled contributors.

I clean my Hairclipper with wd40.
------------
I spray it on rusty motorcycle exhaust, sanding it just a little bit before spraying more wd40 and heat up exhaust (by revving the s*it out of it), then let it cool down. Repeat.

After that, I spray matte black colored, heat-resistant paint and let it dry. Then, I started the wd40 treatment again for a couple of days.

Exhaust looks like it's been made out of some pretty exotic alloy. Colored Mildly deep metallic Grey with a golden/copper glaze on it.

They also make D5W ringers lactate from the TV show "Emergency". Every patient received an IV of the stuff😂. Most recovered.

WD-40 is ok, but INOX is better.

I randomly just thought “Who made WD40, and was it actually made for rockets?🤔”…

And look who’s here to tell me, fuckin’ Simon ‘The Man Of Many Channels’ Whistler!😭

I cleaned white oil base paint out of brown carpet when some dripped through a hole in the protective barrier I had put down (as it somehow always seems to find). Being a costumers house and with no other readily available cleaning products I grabbed the trusty get you out of a jam WD40. I don’t care what’s in it just that I have a can in every vehicle and toolbox I own.

I'd have given up around WD-33.

It's particularly good at removing stickers and tags.

Company: takes all the credit for it's inventor's hard work and even tries to erase his name from the history.

Elon Musk: 🧐 😳 🤗

I got this stuff to quiet a fan and it works perfectly. For a while I had to keep checking if the fan was still spinning it was so quiet.

Loved this video Simon & team. Very interesting and informative 👌👏👍

Im hearing all the uses recommended and thought to myself
wait wd40 is very flammable lol

My best use for WD40 occurred when I had an automotive engine that was frozen from being out of service too long.
I pulled it all the spark plugs, literally filled each combustion chamber with WD40, let it soak for a while, and was able to get the engine rotating with the help of a hammer blow to the cheater/wrench I put on the crankshaft's front harmonic balancer nut.
The plugs burned off the residue visibly as it also helped free the piston rings.

Notice how the company's owner did not seek to prevent his name from "displacing" the true inventor's after giving him a token bonus check to buy off his rights to the invention.
Too bad the inventor did not go out on his own to develope the innovative consumer marketing that occurred later and become the new owner.

A better question is, why does it smell so damned good?

You can still get WD 40 in California in a spray bottle though

That’s kinda grimy...their one and only product was essentially stolen from the guy who invented it.

The lubricant version of duck/duct tape.

it stops bleeding in small cuts

How toxic is wd 40

I used to use it all the time on my skateboard wheels. It really does work like magic

Turn away ye heathens from this foul and cancerous devil's spittle.

Embrace Ballistol, or really any proper Cleaner Lubricant Preservative oil, not WD-40.

3 in 1 oil and Stoddard Solvent.

The Russians using IBM machines in that clip gets me every time. Silly Americans.

My sons name is Atlas haha 😛

Who the fuck got bit by ants and thought "I wonder if WD40 would help?"

Al-lif-at-ic

Kerosene/Coca Cola... 🤔💭🥂👍

Whoever invented this is my hero, it is the only lubricant I always have at least one full can.

Idk but it's good for my knees

Imagine how awesome it will be when they release ……WD-40: 2

Nearly 500 employees? World wide? seems low

I'll never buy another can. Company should have taken care of the original inventor.

I had to carry WD-40 in my school backpack to prevent my leg braces from squeaking and outting that was I was a cripple to my peers.

So where is the video on zip ties?

It is another testament to the cruelty of capitalism that the creator of one of the most useful petroleum products ever was totally and unceremoniously excluded from the rewards (money etc) of his efforts

I like wd-40, but I have been converted to aero kroil. I’ll fight that it’s better

In spite of WD-40's hype and consumers brand loyalty, PB Blaster outperforms it in almost every application. As does "Kroil".
