what works better than PB Blaster?

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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!

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