I like mine with vodka. It lubricates and cleans my insides just fine!!!

The best use for it in my experience was loosening water meter nuts and bolts in the Tempe, AZ ground when changing them out.

I used to see old jazz bass players in New Orleans use it on their hands. After playing eight sets 45/15 on an old full-size double bass, these guys in their 60s and 70s, who had been bangin that thing six nights a week since 1920 or so, were getting arthritis and swollen finger and knuckle joints. Out would come a spray can of WD-40 and they would soak down their knuckes and fingers with it. After rubbing it around with a bar cloth for awhile, they would flex their fingers and go back to playing the next set.

I asked one of them why in the world did they not use Aspercreme or something else. Old guy said that WD-40 was cheap, did the trick of relieving the aches, and kept his bass strings clean and loud. ???? Loud???? Never did understand why, and no I never tried it myself
