Umbrella Rescue with wd-40 Precision Pen:)

There is an old umbrella at work that doesn't work very well, but no one would throw it out. It was always someone will fix it! But no one ever did..

I located the joints and hinges that were causing the squeak and the hinges that were stuck and rough to move. I applied a generous amount of WD-40 precision pen directly to the squeaky joints and hinges.

I moved the umbrellas gently back and forth. I could feel the friction turn from rough to smooth. Voila! I tested it several times and still smooth sailing.

I will be ready for the next rainy day.

Simple repairs are important too!

You might think that fixing a squeaky umbrella is a trivial task, but it's just as important as repairing a mechanical part on a car. A well-maintained umbrella can provide years of reliable service, keeping you dry and comfortable in the rain. By taking the time to fix a small issue like a squeaky joint, you're ensuring the longevity of your umbrella and avoiding the hassle of having to replace it. This umbrella went unused for years.
