I have been a diesel mechanic for 23 years this product does not disappoint. Works great spray it on let it set usually works. Best penetrating spray I have come across in a long time. Highly recommend.

I had bolts holding the carburetor to the manifold on my 1949 Willys Overland Jeepster that I could not budge. Every other product didn't work. I tried this for a week, a quick spray and a tap each day and then, with virtually no effort the bolts came loose. I might even have been able to move them with my fingers. Amazing. Absolutely amazing. I have gotten other people to use it with the same results.

Everyone seems to swear by some magic penetrating oil or another. I do not, and have tried them all, plus ATF, melted paraffin, bacon fat, cat vomit, Kroil, Mouse milk, whatever.... the most important things for loosening stuck fasteners are: patience, understanding what you’re dealing with, patience, lubrication, heat, patience....etc. Usually one stuck/corroded fastener is different enough from the last that whether or not it comes loose easily can’t really be attributed to this or that oil. This oil seems as good as any, though. Smells good. Price was reasonable and I had to buy something. If I start to have any evidence that it is special, I’ll update this.An update..noticed that it says on the can that it “dissolves rust and other corrosion”. I’m pretty sure this is just a lie. “Dissolve” would mean that the rust goes into solution. It doesn’t mean anything else at all. If rust doesn’t go into solution, like salt does in water, or grease in gasoline, it just does not dissolve. I have been soaking some rust flakes for days. I feel like an idiot doing it, because I knew it would not dissolve, and, no, it has not changed a bit.Rust on stuck fasteners is sometimes ground into a fine powder and mixed into a paste with any grease or oil...this product would dissolve the grease/oil, leaving you with a cloudy, oily mixture, but that is in no way “dissolving” any rust. Whoever came up with this mixture and wrote the label should know better. They probably did know better and chose to lie. If you want to make that silly claim, put some aqua regia in there, but I think you would need a better can, and a better lawyer. (For all the injuries and other destruction that would result.)Update # 2: It is July 18th. I wrote the original review in early May. I check on my little container of this stuff and the rust flakes in it regularly. The "knocker loose" is slowly evaporating. The rust is unchanged in any way. It is NOT dissolving. Again, I just can't believe that the can says "dissolves rust". It does not dissolve rust, so don't say that.

This works great! With this and a torch is was able to remove the header nuts from the engine on my 1993 Ford F250 and didn't break any! I highly recommend!

I have used a lot of tires over the years on quads, scooters and go karts and these tires are very well made, seal well to the rims and don't leak air. They are a bit pricey but worth the piece of mind when I am getting airborne with my machines!

I sprayed some on a day in advance and the rusty crusties were no match

Needed some nuts removed that were rushed on. Worked great, I'll order more when needed.
