PENETRATING FLUID
by Dan Stuckey

Machinist?s Workshop magazine tested penetrants for break out torque on
rusted nuts with significant results. The magazine 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.
Note the ?home brew? was better than any commercial product in this one
particular test. Our local machinist group mixed up a batch and we all
now use it with equally good results. Note also that ?Liquid Wrench? is
about as good as ?Kroil? for about 20% of the price.
