WORK SMARTER, NOT HARDER!
As an electrician, you will be heavily reliant on your tools to ensure every task is completed as efficiently as possible.
Having the confidence to choose the most reliable tools and products every time is something that comes with experience. Once you have the right tools for the job, you need to look after them! Keeping them clean and free of debris and dirt will extend their life and of the materials you are using.
Those who have been in the industry for some time, no matter which trade, will always opt for the best products available produced by recognised companies that come with a track record of constantly delivering efficiently.
Here are some of the key benefits of keeping the WD-40 range of products close to hand:
EASE OF USE
Electricians need to rely on fast-drying non-conductive cleaners suitable for use on electrical components. WD-40 Specialist® Contact Cleaner is the go to choice. A sublime cleaner with the ability to remove dirt, dust, condensation and flux residue.
CIRCUIT PROTECTION
WD-40 Specialist Contact Cleaner boasts a dielectric strength of 33.8 Kv per 2.5mm and can protect circuits from oxidation and has been developed specifically for circuit boards, switches, plugs and tape heads.
REDUCES COMPONENT FAILURE
WD-40 Specialist Contact Cleaner removes most contaminants that cause current leakage and component failure. In damp conditions it chases away condensation for a better, more efficient, contact. Its formula ensures it can safely be used on plastics, rubber and metal.
REMOVES GREASE AND GRIME
It could be argued a can of WD-40 Specialist Contact Cleaner should be high on the list of items sitting in an electrician’s kit bag alongside their array of screwdrivers, allen keys, volt metres, wire strippers, adjustable spanners and PPE. A can of WD-40 Specialist White Lithium Grease and WD-40 Specialist Penetrant wouldn’t go amiss either!
REMOVES DIRT AND RESIDUES
WD-40 Specialist Silicone, too, should be included in a professionals’ kit bag, and we’re not talking the gooey substance used to seal anything from baths to batons. WD-40 Specialist Silicone spray is an ideal lubricant for use on high-pressure equipment. Its formula enables it to be used on rubber and plastic items along with metal, plastic and wood. It really comes into its own in the prevention and protection against the build-up of dirt and dust that create damaging residues.
SAVES TIME
A must-have is the WD-40 Specialist Penetrant. Nine times out of 10, more so when the item is exposed to the elements, seized screws, bolts, fasteners and clips can instantly put the brakes on a repair or service. Worst case scenario being the head of a Philips screw will round and a drill or hacksaw or some kind of opening tool or technique is required. WD-40 Specialist Penetrant has an extremely low surface tension, ensuring it can cut through rust, seams and tightly-bonded threads to saturate and lubricate – or simply free up - seized fixings. Highly water resistant, like most WD-40 products it displaces moisture that disrupts smooth movement and can be used as a preventative to prohibit the future build-up of rust and corrosion.
A LEGENDARY BRAND
WD-40® is a great example of a legendary brand that has served the world for more than 70 years primarily with its familiar Multi-Use Product, a mainstay of many a toolbox. However, to think of the business as a one-hit wonder is foolhardy. Among others, the company famed for its blue and yellow cans, produces a nineproduct range of aptly named “Specialist” products each developed to meet the demands required by professionals.

THE SPECIALIST RANGE
WD-40 Specialist® is the iconic company’s range of appropriately named products developed for industrial use, be it for professionals working in manufacturing, servicing or maintenance.
The fast-acting, high-performing array of Specialist lubricants, greasers and cleaners developed more than a decade ago are proven to withstand the toughest of industrial uses and environments and perform to the highest levels.
WD-40 Specialist Contact Cleaner is a non-conductive spray with the ability to swiftly evaporate without causing damage to electrical components and is suitable for use on most sensitive electrical areas.
WD-40 Specialist White Lithium Grease is a high-performance spray that provides super protection for heavy-duty, metal to metal, applications whether used indoors, outdoors and in all elements. The thick water-resistant formula doesn’t drip or run and has been primarily used by professionals to ensure smooth friction free movement. It can also be used as a protection against rust and corrosion.
WD-40 Specialist Penetrant has an extremely low surface tension that ensures it has the ability to deeply penetrate rusted or corroded parts and seized mechanisms. With the gift to penetrate crevices, threads and seams and break the bonds holding stuck parts together, it’s safe to use on metals, alloys and most rubbers and plastics to free up anything from the usual daily challenges.
The complete WD-40 nine-product Specialist range consists of White Lithium Grease, Spray Grease, Dry PTFE Lubricant, Silicone Lubricant, Contact Cleaner, Penetrant, Degreaser, Cutting Oil and PTFE Lubricant.
