  1. Great list Todd! Now I just need to go find our legos to make our kids happy 🙂

  2. Nice! Here’s another…lubricating parts to brass instruments!! Thanks for the post.

  3. Don’t forget drying out electrical connectors, which is actually the usage it was designed for. Apparently, WD stands for “water displacement”

  4. Here’s another one that a friend swears to: a squirt on a fishing lure will bring the big lunkers in. On second thought, there’s something fishy about this…

  5. Works great on squeaky haudraulics on an optomerty exam chair as well.
