WD-40's Specialist Rust Release Penetrant
Has anyone tried this stuff out yet? I picked up a can of the regular D-40 and this came with it as a two pack deal. Seems the new owners of WD-40 are going to town with all the new products. I have only used this once, and not for getting rusty parts loose. For months I was fighting to get my mail box key in the key cylinder and then it started getting really bad and I couldn't get the key out once it was in. I got so frustrated one day when the key wouldn't go in no matter how hard I tried. I drove back home and grabbed my can of this stuff and drove back to mail boxes in a rage. I stuck the straw in the slot and blasted that sucker until it was running all over and onto the sidewalk. Bam! The key went in like butter, turning the cylinder was like nothing was in there and the key almost fell out on its own when I closed the door. The next day I figured the lock would be all messy and full of gunk but there was no residue what so ever. I said to myself, I'll give it a week and it'll be all gummed up with dirt/grit stuck all over it. Nope! After two months the cylinder turns like butter and there is no dirt/dust/gunk or residue anywhere. I'm going to use this stuff on all my old padlocks that have been hanging outside for years and my trailer hitch, Ball lock and jack.
