what works better than PB Blaster?

bigt · 09-13-2008, 03:16 PM

THIS DOES!!

this has been ,y best friend the last year working on rusty toyotas up in canada

just letting everyone know its about the same price and it works just a little bit better. i know because i tried p.b , this and liquid wrench on the same type of bolt while doing my clutch to see.. and for sure there was no case THRUST RULES!!!

also reading the back they make a liquid torch which im gonna ask about!!

napa should carry this right beside seafoam in there behind the counter mechanic only tools lol well atleast thats where partsource keeps it in canada!!

if you have found anything better?? i have heard crown rust proofing oil works great too then post em up!

Cool, I'll have to try this stuff. Thanks!

Team420 · 09-14-2008, 05:42 AM

I have never tried that stuff, but I have found some stuff made by Cyclo, its called breakaway, it even has the little agitator ball in it, and I must say...I have not found anything better yet.

ozziesironmanoffroad · 09-14-2008, 06:16 AM

sick, hopefully its available in the states... you know the EPA is very anal about sprays like that being too strong.

*Dr. Evil* · 09-22-2008, 10:51 AM

Actually, I think that the BEST penetrating oil on the market is Kroil by Kanolabs - this stuff DISSOLVES rust on contact.

http://www.kanolaboratories.com/

As well, another good penetrating oil that is supposed to work great is a mixture of 1/2 ATF and 1/2 Acetone (use a spray bottle). Be careful around rubber parts and seals though as the Acetone will degrade them. I have not personally tried this FWIW.

Another vote for Kroil

Definitely good stuff

JamesD · 10-14-2008, 06:55 AM

I swear by this stuff: http://www.freealloil.com/

jeremy9allen · 10-14-2008, 06:56 AM

We have been using kroil at work. A friend of mine has an old can of rust penetrant in his garage called "Knock-Er-Loose"

Just Learning · 10-15-2008, 07:41 PM

dito for kroil its good stuff

slisdexia · 10-15-2008, 08:30 PM

I've had good luck while working on ski lifts with Knock-er-loose. Then again, didn't exactly try anything different in that situation. Just what we had and it worked.

toyscraps · 10-16-2008, 06:50 PM

Another good one is Yield, not sure who makes it, and kinda expensive, but works very well.

toyospearo · 10-16-2008, 06:54 PM

I went to 7 different shops today and only one of 7 heard of KROLL and Castle Thrust. Worse yet he thumbed through 3 separate books and came up with "sorry dude, my suppliers dont have either." I ended up mixing ATF with Acetone. I have to do my front end this weekend and I need to ready these damn frozen rusted bolts.

Just Learning · 10-17-2008, 02:25 AM

its kroil by kano, im surprisedthey never heard of its used a lot in west cost power industries ill take some fresh crabs

awareness · 10-17-2008, 10:33 AM

I, and a lot of people I know, really like Moovit.

Gotta love old fashioned Chemisty with a modern name (PB Blast, WD-40, Oxy-Clean, 2000 Flushes, TR-3 Resin Glaze, etc., etc.)

Adam F · 10-19-2008, 07:40 PM

Mouse Milk. It's used in the aircraft industry. You'll probably never find it in a store. Its expensive too. We use it at work. Really gets the job done!

shancerlelby · 10-19-2008, 08:02 PM

fluid film rocks, and bonus is it smells great even when torching bolts

If you are looking for KROIL try a gun shop. Gunsmiths use it a lot.

How did that work?? I have never tried it myself but have heard good things.

desertcox05 · 11-18-2008, 06:00 AM

another + for kroil. also marvil mystery oil is very good, it comes in a gallon can and you can buy it at a.z and advance. read the can too good for lots of other things.

rdlsz24 · 11-18-2008, 06:26 AM

My dad and I have had good luck with this stuff:

It freezes the rust so it gets brittle and breaks loose.

GSGALLANT · 11-18-2008, 07:08 AM

At the nuke plant where I work, the shops use methyl salicylate (oil of wintergreen). I've used it a few times, and a little does go a long way (you typically apply it to the nut/bolt with a small syringe). It is expensive, though. Does it work better than PB Blaster? Not sure... I've had good luck with PB Blaster as well, but wintergreen seems to work a bit faster.
