Product Information

Full details

The WD-40 Multi-Use Multi Purpose Penetrant Spray with Smart Straw is an essential tool for DIY enthusiasts, mechanics, and homeowners seeking to tackle stuck parts, lubricate components, and displace moisture with precision. Its key win is the versatile Spray2Ways technology, allowing for both pinpoint accuracy and broad coverage from a single can. A minor caveat is that while it lubricates, it may not be a permanent solution for heavily loaded or high-speed bearing applications requiring specialized grease.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What are the primary uses of WD-40 Multi-Use Product?

It is primarily used for penetrating stuck parts, lubricating, displacing moisture, protecting against rust, and cleaning grease and grime.

How do I switch between the precision spray and wide spray with the Smart Straw?

To use the precision stream, flip the red straw up into the upright position. To use the wide spray, flip the red straw down so it rests flush against the can.

Is WD-40 a lubricant or a penetrant?

It functions as both. It is an excellent penetrant for freeing stuck parts and also provides effective, temporary lubrication for many applications. For heavy-duty, long-term lubrication, specialized greases or oils might be more suitable.

Can I use this product on plastic and rubber?

WD-40 Multi-Use Product is generally safe on most materials, including plastics and rubber. However, it's always recommended to test on an inconspicuous area first, especially on sensitive or painted surfaces, to ensure compatibility.

Is it safe to use WD-40 on electrical components?

Yes, it can be used on electrical components to displace moisture and clean contacts. Ensure the power is off before application and allow it to dry thoroughly before restoring power. It is non-conductive when dry.

How should I store the can?

Store the can in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight, open flames, and heat sources. Keep it upright and out of reach of children and pets.

Troubleshooting

Straw seems blocked or not spraying correctly.

Ensure the straw is firmly seated in its nozzle. If still blocked, check for any dried residue at the tip of the straw or nozzle and carefully clear it with a thin wire or pin (ensure the pin doesn't break off inside).

Product not effectively loosening stuck parts.

Apply a generous amount, ensuring good saturation of the stuck area. Allow adequate time (10-15 minutes or more) for the penetrant to work before attempting to free the part. Reapply if necessary and tap the part lightly to help the product penetrate deeper.

Can stops spraying, even if it feels like there's product inside.

This can happen if the can is held upside down for extended periods, causing propellant to escape. Try shaking the can vigorously, ensuring it's at room temperature, and holding it upright when spraying. If the issue persists, the propellant may have depleted.

Pros and Cons

  • Excellent for displacing moisture and preventing rust.
  • Provides quick, temporary lubrication for many moving parts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting Started with the Smart Straw

Using your WD-40 Multi-Use Smart Straw is straightforward:

  1. For Precision Spray: Ensure the red straw is flipped up and locked into its upright position. Position the nozzle a few inches from the target object for a focused stream.
  2. For Wide Spray: Flip the red straw down so it rests flush against the can. The wider spray nozzle will then be active for broader coverage.

Always shake the can well before use to ensure optimal performance.

Compatibility

WD-40 Multi-Use Product is designed to be compatible with most metals, plastics, and rubber components. However, it's always recommended to test on an inconspicuous area first, especially on sensitive plastics or painted surfaces, to ensure there's no adverse reaction.

Care and Storage

  • Storage: Store the can in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep it out of reach of children and pets.
  • Temperature: Avoid storing or using the product near open flames or temperatures above 50°C (120°F) as the contents are flammable.
  • Disposal: When the can is empty, dispose of it according to local regulations for aerosol cans.
