Best Penetrating Fluid

I've struggled for years with penetrating oil to break nuts and bolts free. This cat does a complete torque test to find the winner. Just FYI for you DIY guys. PS Winner is SEAFOAM DEEP CREEP

We use Kroil at work and it does a good job. I haven’t seen the Seafoam oil.

Automatic transmission fluid mixed with acetone.

Kroil works great and it's good that you can control the spray.

I wish the guy had tested that because I think it would be the overall winner. But that's just based on my experience with it.

Kroil is some good stuff, use it to clean my guns and everything else with it

One guy, one test, not even close to enough data to declare a "winner". My shop shelves are stocked with Kroil, PB Blaster, Seafoam, Lubriplate, Liquid Wrench, and half a dozen others. They all work and on some jobs others work better than others. Kroil hands down wins when it comes to corroded steam fittings. PB Blaster works great when fittings have been exposed to heat and the gunk has polymerized them fast. Seafoam cuts through carbon on head and exhaust bolts. I don't mess with home brew concoctions simply because the canned stuff is easier to work with and works great.

What store can you buy Kroil in? Exactly. It also hurts my wallet every time I press the squirt button. I'll stick with PB Blaster and Liquid Wrench.
If something is gonna be that hard to get off, 90% chance I'm gonna break it anyway. Why waste the time/effort/money on Kroil?

I would have love to seen Aero Kroil added to the test. Thats what I have always used.

Local heavy duty truck shop sells it on the shelf here. I got two large cans when they sent a mail-in offer a few years ago. Figured I won't need to buy another can until I'm in my mid-50's.

Aero Kroil is the best. Expensive, but great.
