Default Penetrating oils! Get-cha penetrating oils here!

I've been watching this guy for a while. Real knowledgible guy and makes good content. I was really glad to see this text come along. Prettyuch confirmed my thoughts on Pb not being worth a sh*t. I've sworn by ATF and Seafoam for a while now. Never tried it with Acetone, didn't know it was a widespread thing. It doesn't seem to separate with seafoam like the acetone and I've had more luck out of it than anything else I've ever used, other than heat.


Edit: second set of tests is out!

I use stuff at work. Forget the name, but it comes in an orange can. Gets into holes as small as 20 microns or something. Works great for instrumentation, also for bigger stuff since it gets into such small spots

Aero-kroil, or CRC has a copy called Knock'er Loose. Werks betr than anything I've come across, yet.

This guy is gold, Alex. GOLD! Thanks for turning me on to his channel! I'm sittin' here cryin' at this guy's deliveries! Genius; most how-to's I just jump to the important parts, but this guy has me hanging on every word so I don't miss any of his "colloquialisms"- there's a 3 dollar word for ya..

You're welcome WJ! He's I think one of three people I watch consistently on YouTube. I'm a big fan and I've learned a lot from the channel.


I've heard of the Kroil and heard it works really well. Never seen or used the stuff though.

I've been using Kroil for 24 years now, and have yet to find anything better.

I'm your original cheapskate, if it's real rusty and underneath the truck I use old brake fluid or old ATF but above I use Lidl's 'best' penetrating oil. These never fail me.

Thanks for the video Alex!
Here is an old military maintainer trick that I use... heat up real stubborn rusted hardware with a propane torch then dab it with a stick of wax. The wax gets deep into the threads for easy removal.
