Any Kroil fans here?

This stuff is amazing. I had two very rusty bolts securing a mower blade that I knew would give me trouble. I put some Kroil on it and let it sit overnight.

The next day, the bolts came off like they were new. I was even able to reuse them.

I use PB Blaster too but that stuff just smells really bad. Liquid Wrench is pretty good too (not smelly).

PB blaster is for beginners and rookies. Kroil is almost as good as a 50/50 mix of ATF and acetone but stays longer in solution and you don't have to mix it yourself. I have a can at home and on the boat. Kroil is great.

I find it kind of a hoot that a company has an AOL email address rather than a domain of their own...

Acetone and ATF works the best by far.

The down side is I hate the smell of acetone.

every so often they offer a "Two For One" Deal

with shipping included.

It's Just Too Easy with the K or SiliKroil!

The problem is that the acetone seems to evaporate quickly.

Order it direct at:
Penetrating-Lubricating Oils

or you can order it on Amazon:
Amazon.com: Kano Aerokroil Penetrating Oil, 10 oz. aerosol (AEROKROIL): Automotive


EDIT: I guess amazon is considered a competitor since I can't include the link. Just search for Aerokroil and pick the cheapest source.

They sell it in a spray can and it is called AeroKroil. It is indeed amazing stuff. It typically comes from an Industrial supply house as opposed to the typical retail outlets. If you like the stuff in the can, you'll REALLY like the stuff in a spray can.
