gets water out of places it shouldn't be. It also has a huge placebo effect and cult following. It's a handy cleaning solvent for things like bicycle hubs and bicycle chains. It has a advantage over kerosine in that it works on gunge, soluble in either water or oil, it leaves a thin rust-suppressing film, it's more effective than alcohol and it comes in that handy spray can. Be sure to replace the lubricant that you wash out, as it is not a lubricant.
The "film" it leaves turns into a sticky, dust-attracting gum in lock. Re-spraying WD40 into it re-dissolves the gum, and it reforms as soon as the solvents evaporate.
I have used it on damp locks and they became smoother soimly because it removed the moisture.
I can't really think of many other uses for it. It is no magic fluid that is for sure.

That'll keep him out of mischief for a while, even he can't claim to know all that!

The water displacement uses are enough for me: that's what it was designed for, and that's what it does well.
It's useful stuff to spray on garden tools for the winter if you live in a damp climate; helps to stop them rusting.
As for the "lubricating" properties, it works well enough where a bit of dusty grunge isn't a life-threatening issue -- like squeaky door hinges/office chair wheels.
It's not a lubricant. Get proper spray on lubricant.

In written English, the use of quotation marks around a word like "lubricating" indicates that the writer does not accept the accuracy of that description.
So I don't classify it as a lubricant -- that's the point of the quotation marks. Others however, do call it a lubricant, as they perceive that it *appears* to *function* as one.
I take it you're not a native user of English, but don't worry: your command of the written language will improve as you learn some of these nuances.
It is or it isn't. It isn't a lubricant.
I am brilliant at English

What part of "they perceive that it *appears* to *function* as one" are you having trouble deconstructing? Where does that state "it's a lubricant"?
Yeah, right...
I was surprised to find it recommended on a yale padlocks packaging instructions.
WD 40 is not a lubricant, as many think it is, It's a water displacer
I understood it contained graphite, which is why it lubricates. I've used it on dozens of locks - Yale, car etc and it works a treat - never had a problem.

Ruddy hell, something I can quite agree with uttered by IMM......
WD40 - bloody awful stuff, almost as miss-used as copperslip anti-seize 'grease'.
It doesn't contain graphite. No matter how many times you say it :)
Can you spray some on your sticky send button please ?....
