Default Best penitrating fluid

Of the gazillion videos on YouTube, I ran across this one on penetrating oil that I thought might be of interest.

Check it out!

I’ve used Kroil for many years. Tried the others and Kroil always worked and worked much quicker than the others.

Yup, me too. In fact it is commonly used to clean the fouling in gun barrels as it gets under and loosens copper and lead fouling.

However!! Watch the video! Kroil didn't fare very well compared to the others!! Check it out.

My techs order PB Blaster by the case, and apply it very liberally.
( the only liberal thing that goes on here )

After watching that, I have asked them to order a case of the Liquid Wrench.

We once used the Kroil, but they said it never worked.
They had no idea what it cost or that some love it, but their experience with it was bad.

Now heat?
We use that wherever we can safely do so. We use the flameless one.

BTW thanks for sharing that video!!!

Kroil has a huge following among the shooting sports guys. I've never tried anything else but Kroil on 0000 steel wool to remove slight surface rust from a blued gun barrel or car parts either. But, maybe now I (or someone) will give LIQUID WRENCH a try (to remove light rusting) and report back?

Has anybody used Gibbs? This is what was used to seal my polished LT5 and keep it looking like new. It dries to the touch with no residue at all and I understand it also has a strong following among gun owners.

You are correct Big John, the mice in Texas are roughly the size of a Billy Goat.
For reference as to how big everything here in Texas is, look at the size of our Jackrabbits!!!

The miniature horses in the background give some perspective.
