Re: WD-40 Versus the World of Lubricants



Kroil releases rusted on better than anything I've found. When I rebuilt the front-end of the dart, it was the only thing that seemed to release the big bolt that was rusted into the Lowere Control Arm. I had tried everything from WD40, Liquid Wrench, and a couple strange things my neighbor had. Then my got some kroil from a friend. It was loose enough overnight that I could tap it out with a hammer and a 4x4.

I ran out of the little bottle of Kroil a while back and havent ordered more. No place sells it locally in Las Vegas, and havent ordered any. Think I saw it on Amazon recently. Last one I bought was Super Liquid Wrench (Has graphite in it). Not a as good as the kroil, but seems to work better than WD 40.

Havent tried the PB Blaster.

Gibbs penetrant---interesting stuff, I want to try it. The only thing I don't like about PB blaster is, it doesn't stay liquid long enough to really soak in. Got to re- apply it often. WD 40? --only use it on piddly stuff cause it is cheap or on sale. Wal Mart has some stuff similar but even cheaper. I don't mind using to much and wasting it :-) ................MO

Thanks for the link Gary. I had higher hopes for the article,
expecting to see real world tests against other products. Instead it
was more of a opinion based article (although those are some pretty
valid opinions..) The tranny fluid and acetone is something new, maybe
I'll try that in the future.

Another "cure-all" product that caught my eye recently is the Gibbs
Brand penetrant. The people that use it swear by it, and it certainly
has some interesting features. I haven't tried it yet, but you can
learn about it here:

Since we typically face rusted part removal etc. I though this article comparing WD-40 to so others was interesting.

For shops or home-brewers, the article claims for breaking corrosion "automatic transmission fluid combined 1:1 with acetone...can be as much as four times—repeat, four times—as effective as any other product."
