Machinist's Workshop magazine tested penetrants B for break out torque on
rusted nuts. B They arranged a subjective test of all the popular penetrants
with the control being the torque required B to remove the nut from a
"scientifically rusted" environment. The results B are as follows; B 
Penetrating oil..... Average B load
None ..................... 516 B pounds
WD-40 .................. 238 B pounds
PB Blaster ............. 214 B pounds
Liquid Wrench ..... 127 pounds
Kano Kroil ............ 106 B pounds
ATF-Acetone mix....53 pounds
The ATF-Acetone mix was a "home brew" mix of 50-50 automatic transmission
fluid and acetone.
