The right fast release penetrant (with Smart Straw) THE VERSATILITY OF WD-40 IS LEGENDARY, SO WHEN THIS COMPANY PRODUCES A SPECIALIST PRODUCT, YOU KNOW IT’S GOING TO HAVE A VERY PARTICULAR SET OF SKILLS

usted and stuck parts are an everyday frustration in many workshops. They can cause wear and tear that reduces the efficiency of your tools and machinery and, in some cases, can even be dangerous. Every workshop needs a rust-penetrating spray that deals with this specific problem and delivers quick results. How about the one that tested as having the fastest penetration in WD-40s lab tests? WD-40 Specialist Fast Release Penetrant spray is designed specifically to loosen rusted bolts, or seized joints, or other corroded or rusted components and mechanisms. This fast-acting penetrant has a superior capillary action to penetrate deep into crevices, threads, and seams to break the rust bonds that hold stuck parts together. It also inhibits rust and corrosion from re-forming
and leaves behind a lubricating layer. It has an extremely low surface tension, meaning it can work fast, and it can be used on metal, most rubber and plastic surfaces, alloys, and most paints. The ‘Smart Straw’ allows it to be delivered precisely at all angles, in tight and hard-to-reach spaces like nut and bolt threads, locks, chains, hinges, fastenings, bearings, and tools. Once you’re done, you can flip the straw back down for wider area coverage. Penetrating lubricants are also very effective as cleaning agents. They can be used to remove tar, grease, adhesives, and rust. This is because the fluid can be used as a solvent cleaner or degreaser for dissolving contaminants. However, the dispersal properties of a specialised penetrant means it shouldn’t be selected as a longer-term lubricant. For metal-to-metal contacts,
a good longer term lubricant is WD-40 Specialist White Lithium Grease. If your primary goal is rust prevention over the longer term, the team suggests WD-40 Specialist Lanolin or WD-40 Specialist Spray & Stay. Don’t forget periodic inspections to see if you need to re-apply protection. WD-40 Specialist Penetrant is a must for any workshop or for anyone who needs to keep machines and tools in top working order. Pick up a can of this ‘liquid problem-solver’ today.
