Best Penetrating Oil?????


Vegas Teacher

Recommended Posts

Back in the day when I had a truck tire business.  This was way back when they were all split rims.  Well sometimes rust would build up on the rim and the inner liner would not release the tire.  So I would get a Coke and pour half of it on the rim and set back and drink the other half.  By the time I finished it, a couple hits with the hammer and off she would come.  Really don't miss those days...…………………..

If you have a rusty pice of steel drop it in a bucket of water for a day or two. It even works on bolt with a rusty  nut if you can submerge it. I saved a gear wrench by doing that. After soaking and wiping warm the piece up to dry and then oil. I know that has nothing to do with penitration oil but it does work.

Guess I'm old fashioned, I still use Liquid Wrench on rusted or stuck parts that should move but don't. I have a shelf full of other products too though.

I guess that makes me 'old fashioned' too , as I also tend to use what I know works . ;)

I keep an assortment on hand from WD-40 to PB Blaster and other random stuff I find at the store. I have no loyalty to any particular product.

Must be nice to be able to waste money on stuff that isn't going to do the job . 

Loyalty ? meh ... if it works , I use it .

Goes around , comes around .

Fixed a few of those in the days my folks owned a Corner Gas station....

Nowadays you roll one of those up to the tire shop and they go into emergency lockdown....

Just looked on the shelf where such things hide.... Permatex penetrating oil, Yield, NAPA penetrating oil, Rust Buster, Pyroil, Liquid Wrench, and drum roll please........Kroil.

All are good, but Kroil is the go-to here.
