As lubricant or as a protectant I find most other products are better, but as a penetrator for rusty bolts I still like WD-40 best.

Not only is there no such reference on the web, but the straw from a can my father bought some 15-20 years ago fits the can I bought 2-3 years ago. Honestly, I just don't use that much WD-40 though -- I'm more likely to use something silicone-based for a general lubricant, and penetrating oil for rusted bits.

WD-40 sales went down. Their solution - they kept changing the diameters of those straws, so that the original biz went out of biz...Someone obviously got smart, and finally offered it as an option.

I'm still using one I bought about three years ago for $10. It's probably a lot more expensive now, but still cheaper than the spray cans. I’m partial to the gallon-size, personally.
