And when I use it, I'm careful to turn it so the lock is at the bottom allowing any water to run out. And yes, I do that because I found the lock unusable when it was full of ice.Ed Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02661476789768156794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-89069710541741700812011-02-12T12:27:42.961-06:002011-02-12T12:27:42.961-06:00Very useful compilation of WD-40 and its uses!

With the amount of crud that gets deposited on the chain almost every day, I don't even try to clean it. I just fire more wd-40 on it every few days and discard the chain when the season is over.

I used to use an old Master key lock with an old curly yellow plastic covered cable.<br /><br />I know a guy who swears it helps his knees - he squirts it on in the morning and pats it off.
