Ya`know I have read so much ranting & raving over how Kroil was the best penetrant this world provides. In My experience in using it over the last 2 years I dont find it any better than PB-Blaster. PB is easily available from many retail outlets at a reasonable price and Kroil is not retail. BUT I get Kroil FREE from My sons workplace, so that is how I am basing My un-predjudiced evaluation.

[Bus Driver]

I have used several of the penetrants. Kroil, PB, WD-40 , and some lesser known brands. They all seemed to work about equally well for me. So I just buy the one that is one the shelf, which usually is WD-40. In one gun magazine, I read about problems with WD-40 used in gun cleaning. The residue of WD-40 penetrated the primers of the cartridges later loaded in the magazine and ruined the primers. Sounded to me to be effective penetrant.

Use WD-40 to thin paint or clean stubborn grease off a stovetop It's mostly Naptha, which is neither a penetrant nor a lubricant. I'd suspect that most of the "stuck" bolts you hit with WD40 really weren't stuck at all

PB is simply amazing when left to its own devices. There isn't a bolt on my rusty old Super H that hasn't come out when hit with PB and given several months to stew.

Hey Country! They are stabbing your (Kroil heart)

Yep! "Country " will be awfully upset when he hears about this!

I tend to use PB Blaster. To save money I buy it in the 1 gallon container and transfer it to a spray bottle. It seems to last longer, that way. Lary

WD-40 is also a life saver if you get moisture in your distributor, just one squirt and normally the rig will fire right up.
Also have talked to a few people who repair appliances and use WD-40 to clean electrical connections, even a volume knob on a tv/stereo.

I have used WD-40 on light switches, ign, and rheostats (head light switches) with great success.

On the farm,
Cutting torch........75% of the time
Stick welder.........25% of the time
And all threads are then coated with Never seize, some threads that see the air impact wrench often are coated with either Marvel mystery oil, or other light oil.

I haven't tried the new stuff yet, mainly because most of the time we don't have the time to wait for penetrating oils to work.

Might have to pick up some Kroil and Pb-blaster and give them a try this winter.

Well...SPLIT MY CUB & CALL ME CRAZY!!! Puttin' PB Blaster & WD-40 in the SAME category as KROIL...Why, it's like comparin' my Tennessee Sun-Dried Possum ta Beef Jerky!!!

Sure KROIL costs more...But, in my experiences, YA GIT WHAT YA PAY FER!

I've tried em all boys & for my money...IT'S KROIL EVERYTIME! BUT, don't take old Country's word for it...PROOVE IT TO YOURSELF!
http://www.kanolabs.com and order some KROIL. If you're NOT SATISFIED...Kano will refund your money (it's hard to beat that RIGHT!)

[Bus Driver]

About 30 years ago, I bought a gallon each of Kroil and Kreen plus 6 aerosol cans of Aerokroil. It was at a premium price then, too. I used the products. I liked the witty comments in the sales literature that came each month from Mr. Kano. But I found no reason to justify the extra cost and did not buy more.

[Rick Prentice]

It only takes one drop of KROIL on that piece of steel in the metal bansaw or the spinning lathe, and the AROMA will have you buying more

I have it from a reliable source that the secret additive was sold to KROIL from our very own "COUNTRY"

Country says:

Methinks Country promotesth too much! Is there a hidden agenda, i.e., stock options, et al?

[jim turner]

well Country I was a skill tradesman at Ford Moteor Co and they bought it by the case for us and My Brother is a skill tradesman for GM and they use it as well so Kano won't be hurtin as long as those two car companys are afloat, but then that don't look too good either

['Country' Elliott]

Why Larry...I'm SHOCKED at your suggestion that I own shares of Kano (sadly, it's NOT publicly traded) Let me re-state the 'Country Disclaimer' yet another time:

"Country Elliott does not now, or has he in the past, had any financial connection with Kano Labs, Inc. He receives no stipend, no salery, no commission for any or all of his glowin' endorsements about Kano's fine products (KROIL...KREEN...etc.), and, if ever any were offered, he would graciously decline said remunerations."

There...That said back to Rick's comment:

Yes, it might be true that a certain "secret aroma ingrediant" might have been purchased by Kano from "Country" to enhance the user's experience of KROIL...AND, that said ingrediant might have a relation to a certain 4-legged nocturnal marsupial commonly found on southeastern roadways (especially in Tennessee). BUT...this is ONLY conjecture and wild speculation (because the papers confirming this transaction were destroyed mutually by the aformentioned parties years ago)

To My Friend Jim:

Folks... Yet another unsolicited testamonial from a satisfied user...THANKS Jim (p.s. your check's in the mail)

John has indicated but not actually come out and said what needs to be said about WD-40.

W stands for Water
D stands for Displacement
-40 stands for how many attempts they made before they stumbled upon the current formula.

WD-40, does exactly what it was designed to do. It displaces water. However, it is not a great penetrating oil, UNLESS there is water in there somewhere. But as a penetrating oil for dry parts, it just does not live up to it's supposed rumoured billing. I have been using it for years.. but it has never loosened up a bolt like Kroil or Loctite's Solvo-Rust or even the CaseIH brand... go figure...

What actually happens with WD-40, is that whilst it is displacing the water, it is also drying the surfaces and in turn actually making the bond between the two surfaces even tighter. As for a lubricant.. same deal.. WD-40 IS NOT a lubricant.. it is a Water Displacer.. period..

I really believe in using the correct tool for the job at hand. As far as penetrating oil.. WD-40 is just not it..

My 2 cents

I have had mixed results with Kroil. On my first use, I applied Kroil to a bolt which I had been treating with PB Blaster. The nut was free the next morning. Great stuff, I thought. I have not had similar results since, making me wonder if the PB Blaster did 99% of the work with Kroil doing the final bit. I probably will stick with PB Blaster in the future, can get it locally and is less expensive than Kroil. It is probably like one's choice of oil for the motor, just depends on personal preference.
