| + | ==Penetrating fluids compared== | ||
| + | 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. | ||

| + | Penetrating oil ..... Average load | ||
| + | |||
| + | *None ..................... 516 pounds | ||
| + | *WD-40 ............. 238 pounds | ||
| + | *PB Blaster ............. 214 pounds | ||
| + | *Liquid Wrench .. 127 pounds | ||
| + | *Kano Kroil ............ 106 pounds | ||
| + | *ATF-Acetone mix....53 pounds | ||
| + | |||
| + | The ATF-Acetone mix was a "home brew" mix of 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. | ||
