I bought a container of 3 in 1 oil today and while I was waiting in the line at the register, I read the little plastic bottle. It turns out that it is now made by WD40.
Does anyone know when this happened?
I have always had a much higher regard for 3 in 1 than for WD40, ever since the time that WD40 gummed up the floating firing pin on my Browning Lever Rifle. (It misfired on a a feral hog at a range of 3 ft., and the only thing that kept me from being gored with a tusk was sticking the barrel of the rifle down its throat -- no more WD40 on guns.)
Anyway, I have been buying 3 in 1 all my life, and I know the brand is older than WD40.
Is the formulation still the same as it used to be or did WD40 change that?
