3-IN-ONE Professional: The Trusted Brand for The Pros



Four New Formulas Meet Every Lubrication Need

SAN DIEGO - April 16, 2003 - When investing time and energy in on-the-job projects that need lubrication, trade professionals want a product they can trust.

3-IN-ONE Oil, the trusted brand of drip oil that has been used for more than 100 years to lubricate bicycle gears, typewriter keys and more, now comes in a 3-IN-ONE Professional line developed specifically for heavy users.

"3-IN-ONE has always stood for quality and performance, so now we're extending the line to meet other needs of professionals and do-it-yourselfers," said Rob Fleisher, group product director for WD-40 Company, makers of 3-IN-ONE Oil. "These field-tested formulas and a trusted brand name work together to deliver a superior product."

The 3-IN-ONE Professional line consists of four hard-working products that cover every trade professional's lubrication needs:

o High-performance Penetrant Spray - This petroleum-based lubricant works fast to loosen rusted or stuck nuts and bolts, pipes, fittings, locks, chains, tools and more.

o High-performance Drip Penetrant - The same great formula as the high-performance penetrant spray, but in a drip delivery system for precise application.

o Silicone Spray Lubricant - This quick-drying, no-mess formula is synthetic, resisting high temperatures and working well in wet environments. It lubricates and protects doors, locks, hinges, electrical parts such as sparkplug wires and more.

o White Lithium Grease - This non-drip, heavy-duty lubricant is long lasting, as well as water and heat resistant. It lubricates and prevents rust and corrosion on automobiles, boats, trailers, machinery and on many things throughout the home.

WD-40 Company has coupled its expertise in lubricant technology with the well-known 3-IN-ONE brand name to create products that work better than the competition.

In recent field trials conducted by an independent research firm, 72 percent of product testers said the 3-IN-ONE Professional products worked better than the product they currently use. In independent lab studies, the 3-IN-ONE Professional spray penetrant worked nearly 20 percent better than its next closest competitor.

The 3-IN-ONE Professional line of products is sold in Lowe's stores nationwide and will soon be available at other major hardware, automotive and home improvement stores.
