walmart and HF penetrating oil

[mikehaugen]

as far as off-the-shelf stuff, pb has been the most effective for me. I don't even buy wd40 or LW anymore. I am still wanting to get a hold of some kroil after that other thread though. For cutting, nothing beats tap-magic. As far as general lubing of door hinges and lock mechanisms, etc... I use 3in1.

I have used kroil for about ten years mainly for a rifle bore cleaner and on bullet molds.

I use a lot of ED's RED as well without the Lanolin around the shop.

I have had more success with PB Blaster but the Liquid Wrench is a lot cheaper here in NC...
I am a cheap skate and admit it...

I am a cheapskate as well, but when I only buy 2 or 3 cans a year I like it to work when I need it. The extra cost is easily regained by time savings or not breaking off a bolt in something.

Tap magic is good stuff, but I wouldnt say "nothing beats it".

Crown Buttercut is just as good in my experience.:thumbsup:

I work in a refinery and Kroil is used by the drum here...great stuff, I have also used CRC "knocker-loose", it smells and works just like Kroil.

+1 on Kroil and Knocker-Loose. Both look and smell very similar.

If you mill or tap aluminum, try A9. Works great.
