That's d-Limonene according to the MSDS sheet:

Yes, but the spring loaded tip is just like those in a flux pen and allows one to "scrub" the 'spot' at issue. And you do not need a cloth to pour it onto like with goo off.
The pen only releases what you allow it to with its spring loaded applicator tip.
So, in that respect alone, it is worth the premium price.
No thanks. I can see the benefit, but my pocket protector is already fully occupied with the necessities of geekdom. For a very short time, I carried a similar pocket oil dispenser, which tended to leak with altitude change and bouncing around. After a few lubricated shirts, I retired it to the workbench. The smell of the oil was also a problem. I can only imagine the stench of wearing a can of d-Limonene. Wearing garlic, in the traditional manner, around my neck would be equally effective.

That is where this belongs. Right next to the flux pen and solder roll(s)(depends on if you do RoHS)(otherwise, just 'roll').

The cap fits tightly and the only exposure is the tip within the cap, so next to no odour to speak of. Your self stench would certainly be more prevalent.
I don't question the stuff in a pen would be great for cleaning small things on a board, but the guy with tape adhesive problems was working on a car tail light.

It works on a variety of surfaces.
Another good one is a brominated "solvent". They are safe on many plastics.
"Ensolv" is a good brand. Not cheap.
