Hi, I'm Amy from eSpares.
In this video, I'm going to introduce you to the WD-40 range.
Whether you need to loosen stiff doors, locks or taps,
remove rust from bikes or tools
or remove dust from electrical items.
WD-40 has a product for every household and outdoor need.
When people think of WD-40,
they think of just one product,
the Original Multi-Use Spray.
But, there is actually a whole range to specifically tackle different tasks.
Here, I'm going to talk through each product
and show you how to use them on your household and outdoor DIY tasks.
First up, let's talk about the Original Multi-Use Spray
which is a necessity in any toolbox.
As many of you may know,
the Multi-Use Spray is great for lubricating equipment,
removing oil, dirt, grease and grime,
preventing rust and displacing moisture.
Some of its common uses
include lubricating moving parts on machines or bikes
such as hinges, wheels, rollers, chains, and gears,
and preventing doors from creaking.
It can also be used to dissolve adhesives,
making it easy to remove labels, tapes and stickers.
First, I'm going to use the Multi-Use WD-40 Spray
to loosen up a stiff lock and key on my post box.
Simply spray the WD-40 directly on to the lock
and onto the key as well
leave it for a few minutes
and you should be able to use the key with ease.
Here, I'm going to show you how to stop doors creaking
using the WD-40 Original Multi-Use Spray.
Spray the WD-40 directly on to the door hinges
and leave it for a few minutes
your door should then be creak-free.
However, if this doesn't work
or you can still hear a faint creak.
You can remove the hinge from the door
and coat the hinge and pin in WD-40.
Leave for a few minutes and then replace the hinge.
Next up, we have the WD-40 Specialist Fast Drying Contact Cleaner.
It's a non-conductive spray
that can be used to remove dirt, dust, condensation
and flux residue
from sensitive electricals.
The cleaner is completely safe to use on electrical components,
circuit boards, switches, controls,
printers, copiers and tape heads
and will not cause any damage to any plastic, rubber or metal.
Here, I'm going to use it to remove the dust and dirt from this printer.
First, make sure that your electricals are completely
switched off and disconnected from the mains.
Simply spray on and leave to dry before powering up your electricals.
As you can see, it dries really quickly and leaves no residue.
The smart straw gives you the option to spray in two different ways.
For cleaning large surfaces,
flip the straw downwards for greater cleaning coverage.
If you need to clean hard to reach areas or small spaces,
flip the straw up.
This is great for getting inside chains, locks or rollers.
Whichever option you choose to clean,
the innovative 360° valve will work efficiently at every angle,
even upside down.
For loosening or removing stuck parts,
the WD-40 Specialist Fast Release Penetrant works wonders.
Once applied, it penetrates deep into crevices, threads and seams
to loosen corroded assemblies,
fasteners, seized parts, and anything else that needs releasing.
It can also be used to prevent rust and corrosion
and is suitable for use in temperatures ranging from -20°C to +90°C.
It is equipped with a smart straw with an option to spray wide areas
or fit into hard to reach places.
Again, if you need the wider option,
flip the straw down
and if you need a precise spray, flip the straw up.
Here, I'm going to show you how to use it to loosen a stubborn bolt.
Simply spray the Fast Release Penetrant onto the bolt.
Use the smart straw to get into any crevices
and leave for a few minutes.
Your bolt should then begin to loosen.
The spray even leaves behind a lubricant layer
to prevent parts from sticking again.

Here, I'm going to show you how to use the Fast Release Penetrant
to loosen a tap that has become stiff.
Spray the Fast Release Penetrant onto the stiff tap
and use the smart straw to get into any crevices and wait for a few minutes.
The tap should then start to loosen.
Next up, we have the WD-40 Specialist White Lithium Grease Spray
for lubricating, maintaining and protecting a wide range of products and materials.
It's used to lubricate motor pivot points,
pistons,
tracks,
runners,
water pumps,
gears,
brakes
and metal to metal applications.
It can also be used to protect gardening tools and tow bars from rust and wear,
encourage the smooth running's of bearings,
winches and conveyors,
maintain cables, chains,
latches and hinges
and reduce friction and wear.
Again, it features the smart straw
which gives you the option to spray in two different ways
and at any angle.
The solution can be used for domestic applications
such as gardening tools, saws, blades and much more.
Here, I'm going to show you how to lubricate lawnmower blades
that have become stiff and rusty
with this specialist grease spray.
Spray directly onto and cover the stiff blades
and leave for a few minutes.
For very stiff blades,
you might want to leave it a little longer
and spray it again if necessary.
The spray will release the blades,
prevent them from becoming stiff again
and protect them from rust and corrosion.
I'm also going to try it out on some bike gears
that have become extremely stiff.
Simply spray it on, covering the gears
and leave for a few minutes.
The bike will then begin to loosen
and if they're still stiff
you might want to leave them on for a little longer
and spray again.
Finally, we have the WD-40 Specialist High-Performance Silicone Lubricant
for use on high-pressure equipment.
This versatile lubricant removes moisture and rust
to prolong the life of your tools and equipment.
It repels dust, dirt, oil and grime,
reducing dirt build-up that can create damaging residues.
It can also be used to improve the running's of bearings,
guide rails and door runners,
improve the performance of valves,
locks and hoists,
prevent parts from sticking,
maintain plumbing fittings
and protect car windows and door seals.
It also provides excellent lubrication for belts,
conveyors,
doors,
hinges,
hand tools and finishing reels.
The spray is silicone-based so you can even use it on metal,
plastic and wood,
without it leaving a stain.
The smart straw applicator also gives you the option
to spray in two different ways
and at any angle.
I'm going to try it out on the catch of this dog lead.
As you can see, its become very stiff and rusty.
Simply spray and cover the catch
then leave for a few minutes.
The catch will then start to loosen
and if it's still stiff
you might want to leave it on for a little longer and spray again.
Finally, I'm just going to use it on these handheld secateurs.
They've also become very rusty and stiff.
I'm simply going to spray on the silicone lubricant
leave for a few minutes
and then it should start to loosen.

and you've gained some helpful tips on how and where to use it.
