I've got a Hubertus leverlock I carry a lot and would like a recommendation for a cleaner to blast out pocket lint, dust, etc. Is WD-40 OK for this purpose?
 
you can buy cans of compressed air in the electronics at wal-mart works good enough for me

I usually used canned air, or if it's really grimy, I'll wash a knife out with hot water, dry, get the water away from pivot points, etc. with the canned air, then lightly oil.
 
WD 40 works very well. A toothpick will help get lint out.
Most leverlocks need something heavier than WD 40 for lubrication. Latama Quick Release or Tri Flow work well.
