Before Liquid Wrench sent us their new 6-pack of lubricants to review, our house sounded like the set of the Addams Family. Open a cupboard and rrrrrrrrrrr-crrrrrrrreak. Open a door, and it was almost surprising that Lurch wasn’t looming behind it after the squeaking stopped. Now that I have sprinted around the house spraying Liquid Wrench products into hinges, a new silence is being ushered in (at least in terms of door squeaks). [click to continue…]
Anyone who knows me knows that I don’t like cats. Of all the creatures in the animal kingdom, I think cats are the top jerks – and, yes, I did consider the raccoon, the hyena and ALF, and cats still won the title.

We stumbled across this post from Chris Rodenius of Tool-Rank.com about WD-40’s decision to make a non-aerosol delivery system of their do-it-all lubricant spray.
Unless you like messing with the older version (and I don’t know a single person who has used WD-40 and hasn’t cursed that little red straw), WD-40’s new Trigger Pro will still do a great job for the jobs around the house and garage. It’s the same WD-40 you’ve known and loved. It will still lubricate and prevent corrosion of metal parts and loosen rusted or frozen parts, tools and equipment.
