    As a locksmith in Houston our company refused to use graphite to lubricate any lock, we always used WD40 and pointed customers toward it. Graphite builds up in locks because it is a powder, I have seen locks so full that we had to disassemble them and wash out the graphite the customer put in it. Expensive lesson for them.

    12 years Automotive locksmith here. First I got to say I love your videos. Keep em coming. You're great! Second: On locks, use WD40 with grease in it. It's a black and yellow can. It says Lithium grease on it under WD40. The reason you don't want to use the blue WD40 is because it evaporates quickly and drys off (Like the shine that fades off the paint). Leaving your lock more sticky than it was, and with all the old solidified grease and pieces of dust nesting in there, it causes faster wear on the wafers inside, as well as making you torque the key harder which will eventually break it. And if you have a car with a remote head key, it will break the blade off the plastic casing. The Lithium grease keeps it lubricated longer. And yes, absolutely no graphite in the locks people! Unless you like calling locksmiths and getting stuck.

      So what's so bad about graphite? I've been using that in locks for 57 years without having any problems since it is a dry lubricant that's too soft to harm metals. Graphite also is an excellent anti-seize for spark plugs since it conducts electricity.

I bought a 41 Ford business coupe for $35 and was allowed to keep in a corner of my buddies Dads shop that was never used anyway. That gave me access to everything i needed to build it.

    Regular WD 40 is mostly intended as Scotty says….to dispel moisture and loosen rusted/stuck parts, but its lubricating properties are minimal, and in fact it will flush lube oils and greases away resulting in increased wear. So don’t use it on say bike chains - it will flush the grease from the links leaving you a lovely clean chain that will wear fast. Use real oil or better still ‘high cling’ proprietary chain lube. WD40 does work well cleaning old thick black gunge from moving parts, just be sure to use a good oil afterwards. Did this very thing on my house front door yesterday when the dead bolt latch seized solid. Inside the mech was solid with thick black aged greasy gunge…WD40 on tissue returned it to near new. Then I oiled it with light “3 in 1” and the door now operates buttery smooth. Took twenty minutes to strip, clean and reassemble…A job the locksmith would have charged well over 100 Quid to be called out for!!!

    My keys were sticking in the ignition, door, etc, sometimes the car wouldn't start. Big thing that ruins ignition switches is worn keys. After decades the keys are worn, and the keys you have cut at the store are nothing but copies of worn keys. I had a locksmith come out and cut keys from the dealer code for my 23 year old Camry. He is the one that enlightened me to that fact. Cost me $250.00 for keys but now they work like new. He said it would take a week or two for the tumblers to readjust to the original key and thats exactly what happened. I was kinda shocked, but the locksmith knew his stuff. Btw, the cut of the new keys looks nothing like the cut of the 23 year old keys.

      I usually use isopropyl alcohol myself (acetone if that fails, but I try not to near plastic, paint, and other sensitive surfaces, since it can discolor, crack,remove, or otherwise damage those surfaces - my wife still hasn't forgiven me for getting a bit of acetone on our stained kitchen table, which now has a runner to cover that mistake...). In one instance though, neither isopropyl nor acetone worked, but Goo Gone Automotive did (I believe it was an old and particularly tenacious bumper sticker over a painted surface that left lots of residue), which surprised me since I thought it was mostly acetone...

    WD stands for Water Displacement. I've always used WD-40 in my door locks after washing the car - especially in the winter - to keep the locks lubed AND free of water. Did you ever have ice in the lock? In the days before remote door lock openers, this was a truly bad situation. Likewise, I sprayed it in my trunk lock and ignition switch just like you did. I'm older than you, so I've probably been doing it longer. It's nice to know that I've been doing something right, for a change.

      @@CamMacMastermusic That's not how cutting fluid works. It certainly doesn't make it slip. It lubricates the chip excavation and non cutting parts of the tool, as well as cools the area. WD40 is a very effective cutting lubricant for aluminium machining. Not great for steel though.

      Grumpy Modeler ... Potato-Potatoe the truth is that, mild steel requires no lube or coolant at all. Drill bits are usually made of tungsten steel which doesn’t like temperature spikes. Also aluminum is very soft and doesn’t require any lube for manual drilling. Only when you’re drilling stainless or very hard steels like it is it necessary to use lube or coolant and you can look it up anywhere and it will say WD40 isn’t recommended when drilling on these tougher steels.

    • @fml5910
      @fml5910 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @J Mack When you drill a little bit raise the drill let the chips come out of the hole you're drilling, which prevents binding of the chips, excessive heat buildup. Which can dull the drill much faster, and also gives you longer stringy chips that are dangerous when they spin around, and you can get cut very badly from them.

    @akonitony2 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Glad he mentioned the silicone oil version of WD40. Another thing to think about is chemistry, and specifically the saying, "Like dissolves like". Petro oils can dissolve other petro products. Silicone oils can dissolve silicone products, so be careful using silicone gel to lubricate silicone hoses, for instance. In that case, it would be better to use Vaseline, but with rubber hoses, Vaseline will dissolve them and cause them to fail prematurely. WD40 is a penetrating oil and will actually cause metal to rust over time because it penetrates it, which is why there are rusty hinges on that 'Yota in the first place. The only thing I would use regular WD40 on is already rusted bolts and nuts, and even then I would not use it over P-Blaster, which is WD40's big brother.

    I honestly prefer Silicon Spray, which the company WD40 makes, but you can find from many other brands.
    Silicon spray is quite better in repelling water, does not leave the mess the original WD40 leaves behind, and it does not smell as much.
    Due to the silicon water repelling properties, it is quite suitable for exterior door locks, door jams, and windows.
    Around the house, I use PTFE spray, which the company WD40 also produces, which is quite less oily and improves friction.
    For example, I use it on the curtain slider, gas structs, and interior doors.
    You also have lithium spray, which is quite good on particularly exposed places, like on the undercarriage of your car.
    Fair warning: it leaves a white lithium film behind.
    All this to say: use the correct product for the correct application.
    Otherwise, you may damage or stain things you do not want.
