The magazine reports they tested these products for "break out<br>"torque" on rusted nuts and bolts. A subjective test was made of popular<br>penetrating oils, with the unit of merit being the torque required to<br>remove the nut from a "scientifically rusted" bolt.<br>Average torque load to loosen nut:<br>No Oil used ........................516 foot pounds<br>WD-40 ..................... ........238 foot pounds<br>PB Blaster .........................214 foot pounds<br>Liquid Wrench ......................127 foot pounds<br>Kano Kroil .........................106 foot pounds<br>ATF/Acetone mix...................... 53 foot pounds<br><br>The ATF/Acetone mix is a "home brew" mix of 50/50 automatic transmission<br>fluid and acetone. Note this "home brew" released bolts better than any<br>commercial product in this one particular test.<br>Our local machinist group mixed up a batch, and we all now use it with<br>equally good results. Note also that Liquid Wrench is almost as good as<br>Kroil for 20% of the price.<br>ATF/Acetone mix is best, but you can also use ATF and lacquer thinner in a<br>50/50 mix. ATF = Any type of Automatic Transmission Fluid<br> This version of the story was in one<br> of the Military Vehicle Club newsletters:<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><blockquote style='border:none;border-left:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0in'><div><div><div><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'> <br><br><o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div></div></div></div></blockquote></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><br><br clear=all><o:p></o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><br><br><o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></body></html>
