Great Product except for "Smart Straw", October 19, 2010
This review is from: WD-40 10032 Multi-Use Product Spray with Smart Straw, 12 Oz.
I have used WD-40 for years.....as long as I can remember....and I am 68. However, I am so annoyed with this stupid "Smart Straw" I am considering looking for another similar product. The STRAW works fine....but when you fold down the straw, it doesn't spray...you just get a stream...wasteful if you're spraying tools. I have had ONE can that I bought with a Smart Straw that would spray correctly in the last year. If you can't live without WD-40, buy the gallon can and put it in a pump sprayer.

Knock, Knock, February 3, 2011
This review is from: WD-40 10032 Multi-Use Product Spray with Smart Straw, 12 Oz.
Who's there? I asked looking through the apartment door peephole. "It's me, Mike in apt. 108. Can you help me?" The neighbor was a quiet, shy kid who always hit me up to be a little league booster when he was younger. This time, Mike couldn't get the tumbler to move in his apartment door lock. I told him to wait while I went after my WD-40. I sprayed the hole, and like magic, Mike's key turned the tumbler around. His grin was a surprise at the product, and it was from ear to ear.
WD-40 has also worked on those fearsome rusted nuts on your wheel when you have to change tires, plus assorted other impossible tasks. It simply sprays the rust away. I read recently where it even removes the spray paint from cars without damaging the paint underneath. This is one of those products your home should not be without.
Here's what else it's good for:
* Protects silver from tarnishing
* Removes road tar and grime from cars
* Cleans and lubricates guitar strings
* Keeps flies off cows (Very important)
* Gives floors that "just waxed" sheen without making it slippery
* Loosens stubborn zippers or interlocking slide fasteners
* Restores and cleans chalkboards (Do teachers still have'em)?
* Untangles jewelry chains
* Removes dirt and grime from the barbecue grill
* Keeps ceramic/terra cotta garden pots from oxidizing
* Removes tomato stains from clothing
* Keeps glass shower doors free of water spots
* Camouflage scratches in ceramic and marble floors
* Keeps scissors working smoothly
* Lubricates noisy door hinges on car doors or doors at home
* Removes black scuffmarks from kitchen floor
* Lubricates tracks in sticking home windows making them easier to open
* Rids kids' rocking chairs and swings of squeaky noises
* Gives a children's play gym slide a shine for a super fast slide
* Spraying an umbrella stem makes it easier to open
* Good for oven burns or any type of burn. It removes the burned feeling and heals with no scarring
I learned a long time ago that WD-40, WD for water displacement, and 40 because it was the 40th attempt that worked, was a Godsend.
You've heard the saying, "Say it, don't spray it," well,
spray this one.

Great stuff! My 17 favorite uses for WD-40 described, October 5, 2011
This review is from: WD-40 10032 Multi-Use Product Spray with Smart Straw, 12 Oz.
I am not a very handy person, so I don't have a huge assortment of tools. However, I learned early on that WD-40 is a must item in my tool box. I don't have strong hands and after a recent back surgery have even less ability to apply a lot of force when I need to deal with rusty screws and tightly closed nuts. WD-40 to the rescue! I put it on for a few minutes and then I can handle almost any job that felt impossible without it.
In addition to loosening rusty nuts and bolts I found a lot of other uses for WD-40. It is my magic helper around the house:
1. Loosen rusty nuts, bolts, screws, water hoses
2. Loosen stuck zippers
3. Untangle jewelry chains
4. Clean silver jewelry which protects them from tarnishing
5. Used to remove tar and grime from my car
6. Clean off gunk from scissors, keep them operating smoothly
7. Clean terra cotta garden pots, remove oxidation
8. Lubricate noisy door hinges (house and car)
9. Lubricate window tracks so they move smoothly when they get hard to move
10. Clean bicycle spokes
12. Lubricate electric fan so it stops squeaking
13. Remove rust from garden tools
14. Spray on umbrella which refused to open before the spraying
15. Remove gunk left by duct tape
16. Remove stuck bugs from the car bumper
17. Remove scuff marks on my wood floor left by my winter clogs soles
