    Thanks! Will get one but shame it’s not one with straw - does greatly reduce waste for many tasks.

    The reason its WD-40 was because the inventor had 39 previous attempts to get it right.

    I wouldn’t use either WD40 or white lithium for external locks, because WD40 isn’t a lubricant and white lithium doesn’t repel dirt. A proper lock lubricant like Abus PS88 lubricant would be miles better for locks, squeaky hinges, etc. PS88 lubricates without attracting dirt and dust into the lock.

    Fair enough, I thought a straw was a straw... did my hinges without causing me too much grief. :)
