I use both liquid wrench and pb blaster on a dailey basis, as far as wich works the best?? I couldn't say... Both work very well with corroded and rusted nuts and bolts. How ever, I have noticed that the pb blaster seams to leave behind more resido then liquid wrench. But that really doesn't harm anything I guess. Just my o2.

Kroil here. In regards to other uses I mix it with my gun cleaner or just straight. It really cleans the lans of a barrel better than anything I have used.

So, we're all agreed that among the off-the-shelf stuff, Liquid Wrench is twice as good as anything else. Unless you can get Kroll or ATF-acetone?%)

Plus kroil smells like cinnamon when you heat the parts with a torch, another mark in it's favor.

Kroil is good shit, and if you buy it in a gallon and put it in squirt cans its not so expensive.

I was thinking of the thread a few weeks ago .. I have a planter for the farm that has a froze shaft in it .. I washed it in Diesel fuel 1st and thought about the ATF & Acetone.
... And it's time for a 3rd douse.

Ok, so I used most of our sprays at work tonight testing wich seamed to work best for what we had.. I was surprised when I found a product call (TKX all purpose spray lubricant) was deffently holding its on again the liquid wrench... I don't know where to buy this product nor do I know the price, how ever I can say that it is a really good product! Very impressed to say the least.

ransil, As I recall it was an industrial test lab type set-up with multiples of a series of bolts in steel plates rusted to the same condition in a test chamber. The numbers reported are averages for each fluid, but I do not know what the number of samples or tests per fluid.
