My old boss told me every good tech has a can of WD-40 I told him a good tech won't need it. It is a temporarily fix and last just long enough for someone else to fix it right. There was a senior tech at this place that carried it in his pocket. He would spray the contacts on relays with it. Those contacts would get so gummed up.

I don't consider myself a good tech at all.  Sure, I can repair a lot of stuff simply because I am the only repair guy that I've got, but I know that full-time repair guys with decades of experience can do things way better than I can.  However, I can safely say that the only kind of grease/oil I carry is silicon grease, and that has maybe 2 applications that it is used for.  I use windex to clean almost everything that is a solid surface (no electronics) and I simply replace parts when they act up.  I don't like it when my customers keep complaining about the same selections not working because I tried to put bandaids on the problem.

I had an account a couple weeks ago that had a coin jam and when i got to the account someone decided to spray WD40 into the coin shoot and everything inside the machine was covered with it.... I guess they figured it would help the jam..
