Penetrating oil what`s your fav.?

please no K-Y jokes

I like PB Blaster for a consumer grade product, but this "Industrial Only" stuff we have at work (sorry forget the name) works awesome!

Maybe CRC's Screw-loose in a green can?

PB Blaster

PBB!!

PB Blaster.

PB and Kano Kroil Oil.

+1 Kroil is the best I've ever used, works almost instantly, It's a blue tip wrench in a can. PB blaster if I can't find the Kroil.

Where are you guys buying the Kroil at?

I have only seen this stuff in the Eastwood restoration catalog.

I am currently using a product called SP3 it comes in a 24 oz metal can with a spray bottle pump and it does not stink like PB Blaster!

I THINK THE PB STANDS FOR PUKE BILE, but it does work pretty good though especially on styrofoam cups.

+ another one for Kroil.

You can order directly from them. http://www.kanolabs.com/

Andyman,
Thanks for the hook up

Looks like they have all kinds of cool lubes!

w/o a doubt this stuff:

i have 3 cans left of the old school stuff from a helicopter plant. i use it for everything including scrubbing gun bores. cleans shotgun bores in two seconds and is non-corrosive. it's busted loose rusted and seized solid caliper pins, truck suspension bolts etc. it flat works.

after that kroil gets the nod.

i use this stuff as above, mixed with shooters choice it makes a killer bore scrub.

Rust Reaper

Anyone use this stuff on their chain in lieu of chain lube?

no its a penetrant and made to displace stuff heavier than it and its the wrong type of lube for chains. better than nothing but....theres better stuff to use.

Thanx Pvduke

anytime mate, oy!

I have not tried or endorse any of these, just wasting time




I'm not going to verify or endorse this. Draw your own conclusions.
Happy knuckle busting !

Machinist's Workshop Magazine (March/April or May/June, 2007) actually tested penetrants for break out torque on rusted nuts. Significant results! They are below, as forwarded by an ex-student and professional machinist, Bud Baker.

They arranged a subjective test of all the popular penetrants with the control being the torque required to remove the nut from a "scientifically rusted" environment.

*Penetrating oil ..... Average load*

None ..................... 516 pounds
WD-40 .................. 238 pounds
PB Blaster ............. 214 pounds
Liquid Wrench ..... 127 pounds
Kano Kroil ............ 106 pounds
ATF-Acetone mix....53 pounds

The ATF-Acetone mix was a "home brew" mix of 50 - 50 automatic transmission fluid and acetone. Note the "home brew" was better than any commercial product in this one particular test. Our local machinist group mixed up a batch, and we all now use it with equally good results. Note also that "Liquid Wrench" is about as good as "Kroil" for about 20% of the price.

Sweet,I am going to mix me up a batch using synthetic ATF and Acetone.

GREAT POST 440!
