I have used many products for freeing up rusted or corroded joints etc. and this is the best so far. It worked yesterday in several seconds to free up a rusted shut bolt. I was amazed. Check out their testimonials on the site.

Good stuff, I sell a good bit of that product.

Another that I personally like is Seafoam "Deep Creep"

Thanks for posting that, Bob. Every so often we all have a need for a good product like that.

What types of stores do you regularly find these type (meaning, better) products? "Real" auto parts stores?

I know NAPA carries both products (spent 12 years with NAPA) ... they should have PB Blaster in stock but may have to order seafoam products. Where I am now, we stock a good bit of the Blaster products, but I have to order seafoam.

But yes, any 'real' parts house should know about these products.

I just heard about PB Blaster about a year ago. That's all I'll use now. Works great. WD-40 and liquid wrench can't hold a stick to this stuff. The can looks 'gimiky' and I didn't buy it the first time I set out for it.

I've picked it up at Pep Boys, I've seen it at Napa also.

Is it safe to use on all surfaces. Can it be used to get rid of surface rust? I may be getting a jointer with rust on the bed. Will it be good for that? Or is it mainly used on joints?

Have you used T9? If so, how does it compare?

I used Boeshield's rust free on a TS and I thought that was pretty good but it did take a few passes.

Thanks for the info.

I have a can of PBblaster in the garage, it's great stuff. if you can find aero-kroil it's even better and it doesn't stink as badly as blaster.

if you can find aero-kroil it's even better

Is that the stuff in the orange can? I've been trying like mad to remember the name, and that sounds right. I was going to say that " ... if PB Blaster is better than [the stuff in the orange can the name of which I couldn't remember], it must be really good."

My neighbor turned me on to Aero-Kroil, and I was and remain amazed at how well it works.

[Tom Slick]

yep, aero-kroil is the stuff in the orange can that smells like wintergreen. I was introduced to it in the air force for taking apart turbines that have been at 900* for 6000 hours. it's not always easy to find but kroil will gladly sell you a case of it.

Swear by it for rust prevention

I drive a 93’ car that is rust free

Its great for rust prevention, just before the often harsh Vermont winter I give the seams and other vulnerable areas to rust a good shot of this stuff.

Kroil is #1 on my list. I haven't found any local retailers so I order it online. I know some mechanical supply houses sell it if you ever deal with them.

Kroil !!! Years ago I was removing an exhaust manifold from a fork lift, 2 bolt heads snapped off. I was going to heat w/ a torch when the maintenance chief said try this. I said they're all the same, it won't work. He convinced me to try, let it soak over night & the broken bolts came out W/ just a vice grip.

PB Blaster did good

I bought a 2-pack of PB Blaster at the tool corral at Home Depot in Frederick Maryland on the recommendation of their plumbing guy. It worked well for me in freeing up a stuck piston on a Honda pressure washer. I let in soak in for about a week.
