WD-40 cans....What the heck happened?

I see lots of recks here for PB BLASTER...…….. I have quit using that ****. It's because of the can not the product. Seems if the can gets dropped or rolls off the work bench one F'n time , it sprays NO MORE. Got sick of throwing out cans with 60-75% of the product still inside
 
I've had the small cans of Kroil run out of propellant with about 10% left. I cut them open and pour it into an old pickle jar and brush it on with a flux brush.
 
try

smells good and works little slower than p.b and stays around . cant find hear in Florida.
 
I've had 3 cans of WD40 fail due to the nozzle with plenty left...so now I use PB Blaster.
Same here...I use PB now since the last few cans of WD40 keeps breaking in the nozzle....
 
for easy to find I like Blaster and Liquid Wrench.

The last WD-40 I bought was on the discount table and had a built in LED light!
 
I have recharged more than one can with shop air as Kryslerkid suggested in post 11

Daves69 is a great alternative that I have been meaning to buy for some time now.
 
I keep WD on hand but find myself using S'Ok/3-1 oil for penatrating rusted parts.
As far as door hinges try using graphite, it doesnt smell or gum up.
 
If you're talking about the WD with the pop up straw, you can remove the top and blow air back through it to clear it.

I worked at a fab shop that would buy it in bulk. We had metal quart spray cans that we pressurized with a air hose. Sprayed the baskets of welded parts down so they wouldn't rust in storage. If you poured some in a clear container you could see stuff floating in it. (Animal fat?)

I liked the old CRC much better than WD40. Lasted longer and displaced water better. I believe the old formula is called CRC Power Lube now.
Fish oil!
 
Take the nozzle off put an air blow gun over the tube, press it down and blow air pressure back into can. Been doing this way before the turn of the century. Must be able to chew bubble gum and walk at the same time to do this procedure.
 
Give Kroil a try. They make an aerosol, as well as a liquid in a pint can. Good stuff, I use it a lot where I just want to drip some on the part to be disassembled and an aerosol makes a spray mess.
I've used it all and Kroil works the best. At work we had every product out there and everyone went back to Kroil, just an opinion. We used a cream colored spray chain lubricant made in Germany, expensive, but , stayed on and kept working.

Kroil and Never Seize was a staple in the Power House when I first started working there back in 1970. Kroil came in small squirt cans and they were literally all over the place. I would prefer that today over propellant. Kroil last I looked is not cheap and I can understand not wanting to waste any
 
I know several have said it, but I will reiterate it, Kroil all the way! My dad swore by it and now it's the only thing I'll use. I use the Aero-Kroil. For white lithium grease I really like CRC, but for a WD-40 replacement I would swear by Kroil.
 
For $22 a can? Uh no...
I keep a few cans of PB Blaster on my truck for my chain binders. I can usually get it on sale at AutoZone for around $5.00 a can. No matter how good Kroil is, I can't justify spending $22.00 for a can.
