Uses for WD-40Hey MacGyvers, if you want to survive the most insane of situations, you really only need two things to make it: duct tape and WD-40. Want to fix anything and everything? You really only need two things: duct tape and WD-40. Want to perform surgery? You also only need these two things. There really are endless uses for WD-40.

Here’s a list of uses for WD-40 that I’ve compiled that you’ve probably never heard of:

Knuckles dry? Elbows ashy? WD-40 will moisten you right up.

The list I compiled I above was not approved by a physician or a scientist. The list below may have more plausibility to it in case you don’t want to spray WD-40 on your kid.

Is your valued piece of jewelry stuck on a finger? WD-40 will get it right off.
