TOOLS

This note is a compilation of useful information on how to utilise the products, mainly WD-40 Multi-Use Product and WD-40 Specialist Dry Lube to help maintain, refurbish and restore power tools and hand tools.

WD-40 Multi-Use Product

This particular product has more than 2000 usages and it works all the time. In the woodworking context, it helps to clean and eliminate moisture from tools. Its protective barrier displaces moisture from the air and other corrosive elements, keeping tools free of rust always. Its ultra-high surface attraction assures the lubricating ingredients disperse widely and hold to all moving parts. Lastly, since it does not contain silicone or other additives, it will not attract dust, dirt and cause a build of gummy, greasy residue on any metals.

Here are a few examples, you could utilise WD-40 Multi-Use Product.

Rust Free: No wood maker uses a rusty and unclean tool or chisel, as rust causes more friction and blunts tools from making the clean and perfect cut/shave. Keep those tools clean by

Sand tools from rust.
Spray a generous amount of WD-40 Multi-Use Product.
Polish it with a cloth

Lubrication: Not only does a squeak free plier work wonders, an easy moving joint keeps frustration away too!

Displacing Moisture: Keeping rust at bay on any power or hand tools involves some recurring habits after each use.

Remove saw dust or wipe clean the tools.
Spray a generous amount of WD-40 Multi-Use Product.
Wipe away access or let dry.

WD-40 Specialist High Performance Dry Lube

This product is woodmaker’s bestest friend, as it contains PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) which delivers enhanced lubrication and protection, leaving a dry clear film that won’t attract dirt, dust and oil. It is also a long lasting lubrication, suitable to be used on metals (aluminium included), glass, vinyl, rubber and most plastics. In other words, PTFE creates a protection layer on all power/hand tools, the next time a sawing/chiseling happens, all the dust falls away and no oily residue will be seen on the wood slap. Nada!
