product for everything from freeing up
sticking components and parts to lubricating

door latch mechanisms through a service

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

its shape to assist application of the multi-use product. The 8 " straw allows users

electric motors and engines. The product is available in a 14.4 oz. can.

penetrating oil for rusted/frozen items
like brake rotor hats stuck to the wheel
hub bearing assembly, and pretty much
everything else anyone has been using
WD-40 on forever.
Q: How does this tool compare to
other products you've used like it?
A: Regarding the EZ-Reach, I really haven't
seen any other products like it other than
the oil can with a flexible (but rather
bulky) dispenser which oftentimes isn't
very convenient.
Q: On a scale from 1 to 10, how would
you rate this product overall? Why?
A: 10. The flexible straw is an awesome
feature that I suspect will yield endless
uses and help solve a multitude of problems.Anytime
you need to apply the
WD-40 lubricant to a hard-to-access
area this device will likely lend a helping
hand.
