pilotblake Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Has anybody tried this on here? I use PB blaster but I might give this a shot. Watching the PB blaster climb up bolt threads is pretty cool if nothing else. "This information comes from another group but thought it was worth putting up here as well. Machinist's Workshop magazine tested penetrants for break out torque on rusted nuts. 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. The results are as follows; 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 aceton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyComanche Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I think it's BS. Like most things arriving via chain mail. I meant to try it when I first heard it. I just use the torch or grinder method instead, so it's hard to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOrnbrod Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Anyone try Kano Kroil? Never heard of it or tried it. Better than PB Blaster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnkyboy Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 kroil is made by kano labratories they also make an aerosol (aero kroil) It works very well,i don't know that its any better then PB as i use and like both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvusse Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Whenever feasible I used to soak rusted stuff in a tub of ATF overnight. Worked way better than WD40. I have since found PB Blaster, and it has never let me down yet. And most things I have used it on don't fit in a tub of ATF easily, like about every bolt on my 22 year old Jeep.

oldrusty Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 We use kroil at the shop at work as well as pb blaster. I have found on a few occasions now that the kroil will loosen things that blaster won't. They just bought a case of some new stuff called torque cb that is supposedly better than blaster or kroil....I hate to use the new stuff though. It smells like bubble gum and keeps making me hungry......lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HellCreek Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Here is a link to the entire thread on IFSJA (International Full Size Jeep Association). http://www.ifsja.org/forums/vb/showthread.php?t=108916 It appears to be some good stuff, but I have yet to try it. -Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbhill Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 it puts the pb on its skin, or it gets the torch again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilotblake Posted November 17, 2009 Author Share Posted November 17, 2009 Well I have used the acetone/ATF mix for awhile now. The first thing I noticed is that they don't like to mix very well, So I shake the sprayer good before applying. It seems to work good, I have little patience so I may not give it adequte time to work. It does seem to soak in well and move up threads good. :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mythreesons Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I am getting the same results as pilotblake with the ATF/acetone mix. I will keep trying as I have to work on the steering components on my old tractor in the next few days so we'll see how it does. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
