WD 40 vs. LPS
Keep in mind that these two very useful fluids perform different tasks well. "WD" stands for Water Displacing, and leaves a protective residue. Good for protecting tools and rustable metal, but the residue is only a lubricant until it dries. Then it's gummy until it's sprayed again. LPS is great for improving electrical conductivity, as in contact points, and connectors. Compounds like spray silicone improve sliding coefficients, and are properly used to coat table saw decks, or jig saws. That's why it takes a large cabinet to store all the "spray-ons." There is no single product that does more than one, maybe two, tasks well. jsutro
