So what is your favorite penetrating fluid any which ones have you tried? I just made a video on a homemade penetrating fluid that I have found to work the best so I wanted to share. Stuck bolts and breaking bolts is the worst but I havent had any problems since using this!

Let me know what you think! And if you have tried this before!
**Also, if the video was helpful, give it a “thumbs up” on YouTube (it helps me out, thanks)***

I use deep creep. I have heard ATF is the best.
 


















third vote for PB Blaster
 






Seems like you guys like PB blaster. Have you tried kroil or the home-made stuff before?
 






WD40 --> PB Blaster --> Aerokroil

Not that I can say I notice any difference...
 






PB Blaster also has my vote. It smells funny, but gets the job done very well.
 






Another vote for PB Blaster. Kroil is good too, maybe better. It is harder to get so I don't use it as often (and it stinks). The trick you posted with the ATF/Acetone mixture has been around a long time. I have not tried it yet, but I was about to go mix some up to play with, as it does appear to work well. I used to use Liquid Wrench, but it is not nearly as effective as PB. WD-40 is useless. It is not a penetrating oil and doesn't do any good as one (and isn't very good for much of anything else either).

Great Youtube channel BTW.

I have never tried Kroil or home-made. When I needed some penetrating oil, and knew WD-40 was not penetrating, online reviews lead to PB Blaster.

I do wonder if the WD-40 Specialist stuff works...?

Thanks man! Yea Kroil is harder to get and it does smell.

I never used the WD-40 specialist stuff. I was looking up info on it and it is made to be heated up with a torch it seems.
 






I'm old school WD40. Its what my dad always had in the garage growing up so that name has been ingrained into my head!! I might try that ATF formula I have Acetone I use it all the time as a clean up liquid for my polyester resin.
