Alternatives to PB Blaster

[WMSmotorhead]

PB Blaster works ok, and I have a friend who wouldn't be without it. I like it, but I am always looking for alternatives... I've also had State Pen, that was good too.

Alternatives I can buy locally and easily

Justice Bros JB80
SeaFoam DeepCreep

Those I know I can get. I know Kroil is popular, but I'm hoping not to mail order. I go through 1-2 spray cans a year.. since I anti-seize many of my bolts when assembling.

What ideas are out there. Anything that will one-up PB?

I know folks here blow it off but the latest Liquid Wrench is excellent, a recent test found it was one of the top performers.
Certainly is a reasonably priced offering too.

Amsoil power foam is good, De-carbon, clean intake, penetrant etc.

 

[Bluestream]

They're all about the same. No magic stuff out there..

 

[EricF]

liquid wrench and deep creep are my 2nd choices..

I have a few sample cans of Freeze Off, but haven't had anything to try it out on yet..

Aero Kroil.

Isn't a 50/50 mix of ATF and acetone reputed to work quite well?

Schaeffers Penetro 90. http://www.schaefferoil.com/penetro-oil.html

Ok... half of those are mail order though.... or go fishing for a dealer.

My favorite is jb80

have had it break loose a lot of bunch of stuff at the shop.

i used a fair bit of freeze-off this week and was impressed with it. it out-performed liquid wrench pretty easily

 

[ahoier]

Just for loosening stuck bolts, I'll use a bit of MMO....let it penetrate a bit, then try loosening again.

That's not aerosol though, so it's hard to put it in hard to reach spots....

Really can't beat the PB

It's crazy, went to their site, they got a whole line of auto chemicals even....even saw a PB Fuel additive, BUT never seen it in any stores lol.

+1 for the Liquid Wrench L404! It creeps, penetrates, and has the Cerflon technology. My new favorite go to lube.

I have been quite impressed with the freeze off myself. Does not look like it would be a good lubricant but for breaking things loose it works well.

Coca-Cola works well, the phosphoric acid in it eats the rust.

 

[WMSmotorhead]

I'm thinking of getting a can of JB-80 and give that a whirl. I've been fortunate /w/ the last few projects not being a rust mess.

 

[CBR.worm]

I use PB Blaster. I had a can of something at one point that worked incredibly - and smelled like bubble gum, but I don't remember what it was.

 

[Tros]

It may not be popular to say, but SuperTech's penetrating oil works well.

The company sent me a case of PB Blaster for free when I pointed out an error in their product label. So a lifetime supply for me. But I did buy some of the freeze off stuff to try. But have not yet.

I did buy some of their garage door PB Blaster lubricant and it worked well.

 

[TheTanSedan]

MolaKules recipe for LC-20 and synthetic ATF.

Otherwise, Penetro-90 for aerosol convenience.

Sorry to say, but the propellant will probably disappear before you have a chance to use it. I was given a can of PB blaster and it lasted me a year before it quit spewing. There was still half left, but I don't know how old it was when it was given to me.

I guess we could hacksaw it open and find a suitable spray bottle for it..
