Kudos to PB Blaster

[Richard]

My backhoe's ignition key has been frozen in the switch for probably 3 years. During that time, I've (every now & then) made attempts to free it. Nothing major, but definate attempts.

I've soaked it with WD-40 (my usual attempt) and went so far as to grab key with vice grips and pull with both hands.

I was pulling gently so as to not break anything, but was a very firm pull none the less.

Saturday, I was outside doing stuff... and thought of the PB Blaster I had & comments here.

Sooooooooooo, figuring I had a day to let it soak, I put a very small spray onto the key/hole area. As I did it, I was thinking to myself... "Well, this has never worked before, so IF it works now, it'll probably have to soak for a while"

Then I reached for the key to move it about within the keyhole and as I was about to touch it with my fingertips, I thought "Woudn't it be interesting if as I grabbed it...."

(then I grabbed it)

And simumltaneously with my grabbing it and wigginling it about 2 times, "it came right out"

Just that stinking fast

!!!

No more WD-40 for me, PB Blaster all the way. I'm sold.

But does it taste good?

No, it doesn't.

"But does it taste good?"

Not too bad with some Ketchup in it.

But seriously, PB Blaster is the best I have used for rusty stuff. There might be better out there, but it is the best I have found on the shelves in my area.

About as good as grease on a chili dog ............ /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I agree.. It is good sutff. Not to good when it is in your eye. Don't ask me how I know.

I'll bet all the prior soakings had something to do with it. G

Perhaps...but the last time I "know" I sprayed it (with WD-40) was probably LAST summer... so it's been soaking quite a while
