PSA: Don't forget to grease your ladder pins - I learned the hard way
Was working a job on the Mississippi River near Baton Rouge last month and my extension ladder seized up right when I needed to adjust it. Spent 20 minutes fighting with it while the barge crew watched. Now I hit every pin with WD-40 before I start and keep a small can in my truck. Anyone else had a ladder freeze on them mid job?

A little 3 in 1 oil works way better than WD-40 for me.

Hold on, @ruby_rivera76, are you telling me you use something other than WD-40 on a squeaky door hinge? I have a jar of 3 in 1 oil in my garage but I only use it for my sewing machine. I guess I never thought to put it on a door or a rusty bolt. Might have to give it a shot now.
