00:00Almost everyone thinks WD-40 is a lubricant, but in reality, it wasn't invented for that,
00:04and that's because WD-40 stands for water displacement, and it took 40 attempts to
00:09create its formula. Originally, it was designed to protect metal from moisture and prevent it
00:13from rusting, which is why it also works on rusty screws and squeaky hinges. But here's the part
00:17that most people don't know. WD-40 is not designed to be a long-lasting lubricant since it evaporates
00:22over time, which is why mechanics usually apply a suitable grease or oil afterward.
