for the win.
But i've used kroil a lot, it's not very good.

I challenge anything against Bilt Hamber Ferrosol.

What does "ftw" mean?

Probably "For what it's worth." or maybe "For the win?"

For what it's worth would be fwiw.

Like everything , there is no " best " . Every suggestion is based on what has worked for that particular person .

Kroil/Acetone 50/50.
The original Liquid Wrench worked fine until Kroil entered my world.

I found the absolute best to be Aero Kroil. Why? Two reasons, both related to salt water corrosion. It saved me an expensive Penn fishing reel with a screw that was corroded in place. It took weeks for the Kroil to soak in, but eventually it did. But I now have an "oldy-but-good" reel that would cost over $150 to replace with equal quality. Ditto for a nut on the suspension on my truck. Argue all you want, but this is my go-to. Stick around salt water for a while, you'll soon find out what works.

Kinda, but there are literal tests for this, and Ferrosol came out on top.

Regardless, yes, most people will post what they last had best success with, until they try the next thing.

I've wondered if we credit the last product we try when the bolt loosens when it might be everything else we tried did a little part?

Thankfully I moved from Rustelvania where a hissing wrench is mandatory for exhaust work to Aridzona where we try not to get dusty under the car and exhausts can last forever.

I use 50/50 acetone and ATF, Its the best I've ever used.

I have to say the best I have found over the years is Kimball Midwest Penetrating Oil. Not cheap but def. worth it.

Never heard of it, where do you get it? I have enough rust to deal with

Can't help you with that, but if you've got a lot of rust to deal with, i will again re-recommend Bilt Hamber Ferrosol as it hails from the land of rust and nothing so far as been able to beat it.

Thanks. You are a walking almanac of exotic penetrating oils. I certainly appreciate the info.

I got it when the salesmen would come by at the repair shop i use to run. I do see it on Ebay and I have 1 can left. When all else fails that is my go to.

Thanks.
