Re: Best penetrating oils
Good stuff -- sorta surprising results. I didnt like the mixing em all together at the end. I get it was from the comments, just seemed kinda dumb.

Yes. I agree about the mixing.
The biggest surprise to me is using brake fluid. I never heard of using that for loosening rusted bolts & nuts.

Re: Best penetrating oils
Well, seeing as brake fluid has the basic same break-away torque figure as the un-treated control group, I'd say that's why you never heard of using it

Re: Best penetrating oils
I let myself be fooled by the penetration of the brake fluid. It went right down the threads and out the bottom of the bolt. I guess I didn't pay close attention and missed the breakaway torque number. I think next time I watch this guy, I'm going to slow him way down.

Just so you don't have to watch the video, Seafoam Deep Creep and CRC Knock 'er Loose were the top two.
