I have been presented with my own tin of “Duck Oil” and disposable gloves. Job is a good one
You still want some proper oil. Duck oil is similar to WD40, in that it will free them off but allow them to rust.

I lost grip on the bit of steel pipe I had on the handle and had to walk about 50 yards to get it back.
Not been there yet but know the stories!
You gotta respect dogs big time, the second you turn your back or lose grip or concentration with them and if you’ve unfortunate stood in the wrong place…they bite back hard
Ask 8wheels he knows of some stories and bet peterm does if he has used them all the time.
Great bits of kit if respected all the time every time!

I am only doing the job temporarily and it involves moving machinery in roadworks so no long distance. I will take a tin of WD40 with me as that should alleviate the problem in the short term As well as carrying a crowbar.Teaching you to ■■■■ eggs here but you want to make sure them chains are doing their job even for a short time/distance as they’re the only thing holding stuff on and stopping it joining you in the cab.
Otherwise it could get embarrassing for you or worse god forbid something happened
As for WD40 if you can’t get engine oil it’d be better to use 3 in 1 oil at least that’ll give you a slightly longer lasting lubricant than WD40.
Good luck and stay safe.

I never did use them on a regular basis and I suppose that’s why I lost one. It wouldn’t have been so bad, but the ■■■■■■■ racket it made when it landed was unbelievable.
