Re: Rust
There are lots of misconceptions about what WD 40 is good for. Breaking nuts free isn't one of them. Using it as a lube isn't either. Truckers here use it it in the winter to get moisture of of electrical connections going to their trailers. It can't be beat for that. It's pretty good for dissolving goo and grime. It has good short term anti corrosion properties for iron and steel, likely due to its ability to displace moisture. I use it once in a while to cool steel down when grinding or drilling. It displaces heat pretty well too.
It's good to see an actual comparison of the Atf mix compared to some well known nut busting products.

Re: Rust
That doesn't say it becomes hygroscopic over time. It is a good gunk remover. I've been using it with wet and dry carbide sandpaper to remove rust and grunge off old handsaws and planes.A fairly scientifically done corrosion test I saw with at least a dozen other products had it coming in around 4th position and that included over a period of 3 -4 weeks. Some others may last a lot longer. I have some Fluid Film I've been using between irons and chip breakers which seem to be a spot prone to corrosion. it should last a lot longer. WD40 works pretty good for cleaning saw blades too. I use a pizza pan to soak them in it.
