    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.

  • @rlan3677
    @rlan3677 4 года назад +259

    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.

    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.

We plugged in an engine diagnostic meter and it said my #8 sparkplug was not firing properly on start up. I also noticed that on startup after the truck had sat overnight I got a cloud of smoke come out the exhaust. Isn't it a little early for me to have problems with leaky cylinders?

    I use WD40 as a cutting agent. works perfectly when your drill bits have trouble biting.

    • @CamMacMastermusic
      @CamMacMastermusic 3 года назад +1

      Actually... not to be a jerk but WD-40 makes the drill bit slip on the steel. Thats why you see the chips turn blue. It creates heat. Try using the peck method. It’ll save your bits from dulling. ☮️

    • @tahustvedt
      @tahustvedt 3 года назад +2

      @@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.

      @CamMacMastermusic 3 года назад +1

      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 года назад +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.

      @Billy Gildark Thanks for the tip, never thought about trying that!
      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.
