I blew a bunch of WD40 through mine early this winter, and it has been fine down to -10°F so far. I'm curious to see if/where it does fail. (hope it does not!)
The problem with the "alternate" method of defrosting, is that you would have to find (three layers of long johns with shirts tucked into them and a pair of tights later- not "find" because it's that small. Well wait, it is freakishly cold out

) said "tool", then expose it to the bitter cold.
I'll call for a ride, thanks.
