Rgr the fire.  WD-40 is now banned from our job because of that.

Two underground linemen were in a vault working on an HV distribution
problem.  They were using WD-40 to clean some parts.  Something arc-ed, and
the WD-40 exploded.  The foreman had to reach in and pull them out, then do
CPR on both till another near-by crew arrived to help.   Nasty event.  They
all survived.  I don't remember, but I think the gas in it was propane or
something like that.

Now - that might be something to think about if you own a K or a Y brand!
Convince the wife to let you get that new PRO-III.

Mike.
