==='''<font size="5"><nowiki>*</nowiki>'''</font> Commercial penetrating fluids compared to ATF/acetone mix=== Machinist's Workshop magazine actually tested penetrants for break out torque on rusted nuts. They arranged a subjective test of all the popular penetrants with the control being the torque required to remove the nut from a "scientifically rusted" environment. {| class="wikitable" |- ! Penetrant !! Average load |- | None || 516 lbs. |- | WD-40 || 238 lbs. |- | PB Blaster || 214 lbs. |- | Liquid Wrench || 127 lbs. |- | Kano Kroil || 106 lbs. |- | ATF/acetone mix || 53 lbs. |} The ATF/acetone mix was 50/50 automatic transmission fluid and acetone. Liquid Wrench is shown in this test to be about as good as Kroil for about 20% of the price. Info from [http://www.hotrodders.com/forum/a-1558916-singlepost32.html here].
