Full Product Info
WD-40 has long been a household name when it comes to multipurpose spray lubricants and it is easy to see why. Originally invented as a water dispersant, WD-40 can be used for so much more from loosening sticky hinges or joints, lubricating bearings and can even remove crayon from the walls. WD-40 can also break down grease and oil and will protect parts and tools from corrosion. The smart straw nozzle makes it easy to switch between a standard spray pattern or a more precise straw application, just flick the straw up into position. So, whether it’s for the house, the car, the garage or the workshop, WD-40 is sure to come in handy.

    Go to Bunnings and get the non-aerosol WD40.

    I find that you never get to use an aerosol to the end, always blocks with a substantial amount remaining in the can.

    • That's the case that I have.
      Since learnt it's not blocked - at least mine isn't. It just somehow leaks to become depressurised. If you have an air-compressor (I don't) you can try fixing it.

  • WD40 is good bike degreaser?

    • -7

      It's a lubricant

      • Its also a solvent…

      • For a bike I wouldn't use it as a lubricant for the chain. It's a degreaser first, and leaves behind a little bit of lubricant, far from adequete for longetivty. It's recommended to still apply lube.

      • +4

        It's a lubricant

        THE HELL IT IS!

        The "D"stands for Dispersant, this crap is a solvent.
        When I was running a bicycle workshop I got into an argument with a new mechanic who also considered WD-40 as a possible "lubricant"".
        So I conducted a very simple test. I hung a chain on a wall and doused it with WD-40, it was dripping wet I put so much on it.
        Waited a short time (couple of hours or less, who knows, aeons ago) and what do you know, no sings of any lubrication left. Chain stayed there for a day, indoors, unused. I then fitted it to a bicycle, and it squealed like a pig. You got a pirdy mouth.

        WD-40 is not what you would traditionally classify as a lubricant. Yes it can aid in lubrication, that is because it has broken down an actual luriacnt in the item you are spraying, like solidified grease, but it is not a lubricant.

        • +4

          WD-40 is not what you would traditionally classify as a lubricant.

          Well… a lubricant lubricates. WD40 lubricates, so WD40 is a lubricant.

          But not all lubricants are fit for all purposes, and not all lubricants are long-lasting.

          Axle grease lubricates axle bearings very well but it would not do a good job on bike chains because it's too thick. But it's still a lubricant.

          WD40 lubricates hinges very well but it would not do a good job on bike chains because it's too thin and light. But it's still a lubricant.

          Bicycles are not mentioned anywhere on the WD40 can or the website as it wasn't designed to be used as a bike lube, which is why it didn't work well on your test.

          "Must work on a bike chain" is not a prerequisite for something to be called a lubricant. Saying WD40 is not a lube because it didn't work on a bike chain is a bit like saying Finish Line Teflon Bike Lube is not a lubricant because it didn't stay on an axle bearing.

          • @eug: In fact there is so-called 'WD-40 for bike chain':
            https://wd40.com.au/bike/chain-lubricant/

            Thoughts?

            I bought it in aldi for something like $5-6, but looking at this converstation made me postpone my plans to use it as a chain lube.

            • +1

              @alpln: Got some from big w a few months ago. Cleaned the chain up with some degreaser. Sprayed it on and it seems to be working fine.
              I was previously using Castrol chain oil but got told motorcycle oil isn't designed to work on bike chains so saw the wd40 soon after and never looked back.

          A QUESTION OF LUBRICATION

          Myth: WD-40® Multi-Use Product is not really a lubricant.

          Fact: While the “W-D” in WD-40® stands for Water Displacement, WD-40® Multi-Use Product is a unique, special blend of lubricants. The product’s formulation also contains anti-corrosion agents and ingredients for penetration, water displacement and soil removal.

          • @[Deactivated]: Great find!

            • @steve-oz: It can be used as a lubricant but it flings off and doesn’t lube for long. Wouldn’t recommend for motorcycle chains, might get away with it on bicycle chains but best off using something more specific for lubricant.

      • It’s last a lubricant. It’s all the rest first. Also it’s kind of a jack of all trades master of none.

      • As said above, whatever they want to tell you it is, it actually dries things out when it dries leaving them less lubricated than they were before.

        WD40 is like RP7, or many others, its best used to free up rusted and stuck parts. Then you use a decent lubricant. For these to work as a lubricant you have to apply it far more often than you would a dedicated lubricant.

    • Yes, works great on bike chains, sprockets etc. that have gummed up with old grease. This will remove old grease, so you have to regrease afterwards.

    • +4

      It'll work, but actual degreaser will work better and is cheaper.

    • Sure you could use it. But damn expensive degreaser

  • +3

    Lithium grease is a much better lubricant for most applications.. wd40 has its place but do some research first

    WD-40 experiment on little brother:

    1) If brother moves and he shouldn't, use duct tape.
    2) Brother eventually starves to death while duct taped.
    3) If he doesn't move and he should, use WD-40.

    Result: WD-40 experiment failed.

    From the web:

    WD-40 is a DEGREASER (which cleans out the oil). It also contains alcohol which cleans the area. WD40 isn't a lubricant, it's totally the opposite of it!! It's good for cleaning and derusting things. WD40 is good for removing water and preventing rust temporarily. It can free up stuck nuts and bolts but don't use it for lubricating things.

    Silicone = Best lubricant to use on rubber/plastic parts, wood. Suitable for treadmills belts, car door rubber windows, etc. Only handles low temps.

    white lithium = use on garage door tracks, door hinges, chains, cables, metal parts. (long lasting + provides protection against corrosion ( Lithium is petroleum based so don't use it on plastic/rubber materials). Generally best all around lubricant/grease.

    lanolin = excellent corrosion protection and lubrication + provides good rust protection (contains no silicones and natural product, e.g. sheep)

    marine grease (bluish colour) = sticks around the longest, generally used on boats because it lasts ages, high-temps, very thick compared to other grease.

        WD-40 is jack of all trades master of none. If you actually want to lubricate something and have it last, don’t use WD-40. The suggestions that you replied to are better alternatives for everything.

    Nothing in NSW apparently.
    They tried to shift the order to another store.

  • No stock at the closest nine Perth metro stores to me :/

  • Had 1 of my orders cancelled, said a guy came in and purchased all on shelf before they could do orders,
    Luckily I had an order in with another store and that’s been completed
