Indeed. Behold the power of lube.

Pfft. Next is to use the oil to see if it will stop my chair from squeaking!

The only thing I've used WD40 for is to get rusty sockets. screws, etc to loosen up.
I think I've put it on a door hinge ONCE and it was squeaking a week later.

How much did an arm like that set you back?

Yeah, what WD40 does is cleans all the oil off the joint. It's oil-based itself, so initially it lubricates, but within a day or so, all the oil is removed from the joint. :P Use 3-in-1 if you're going to oil something!

The arm is an Ergotron LX desk mount, the old version of http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ.....82E16824994063

Ergotron lists it for $170, but NewEgg virtually ALWAYS has it for $120.

I've got an Ergotron arm, too. Works great! I use a lube with Teflon in it because that never evaporates.

You oiled your mount? What did he think about that? };=)

what

A silly joke...never mind. }:=)

Whoo, yay! Glad to see that it moves better now. ^^ Or hear rather, hear works better.

hehe, WD-40 is an oil penetrate, not a lubricant. Dry lube also works great. It dries and does not attract dirt or dust that could clog the joint.

Yah, but everyone hears something squeaking and says "Get some WD-40 for that!" :P Whyyyyyy, that's not ultimately make things worse!

:)
Big Cintiq, must be a hi-res display. cx

you're still a brat. :P ;)

WD-40 in the garage, where it belongs. Bust loose those rusted bolts.

3-in-1 or 4-in-1 when you want it to last.

Pity I never figured out what was squeaking in my old chair.

I used 3 in 1 oil on my apartment door, was squeaking like crazy and then... silence :D

yeah 3 in 1 is amazing stuff, i use it for EVERYTHING...from lubing doors and stuff, to metal cutting, to lubing whet stones, evetrthing except liek mechanicak stuff, for that i usualy use white lithium grease ^_^

Uh-huh. I cringed when I heard someone say, I think at work, "That's squeaking really bad, we should see if we have any WD-40 around" D: NO LEMME GO GET MY 3-IN-1! D:

LOL

WD-40 is a tool! Sometimes, it is the wrong tool. Like using a screwdriver as a prybar, or duct tape for masking paint. 3-in-1 is a handy light-weight oil, yes, but sometimes it's the wrong tool, as well - you have to be careful. My mom's old sewing machine got injured by 3-in-1. It can gum up if it's in high-heat, high-stress environments.

If you want The Shit™ for certain parts of chairs, though, it's grease. 3-in-1 wins out over WD-40 because it's way the hell thicker and will actually film up properly; for heavily stressed stuff, 3-in-1 and other lightweight oils will fail almost as badly for the same reasons. It takes higher viscosity to stick around in a really heavily stressed joint.
