"Machinist's Workshop magazine actually tested penetrants for break out torque on rusted nuts. Significant results! They arranged a subjective test of
all the popular penetrants with the control being the torque required to remove the nut from a "scientifically rusted" environment.
Penetrating oil ..... Average torque
None ................ 516 pounds
WD-40 ............... 238 pounds
PB Blaster .......... 214 pounds
Liquid Wrench ....... 127 pounds
Kano Kroil .......... 106 pounds
ATF-Acetone mix ..... 53 pounds
The ATF-Acetone mix was a "home brew" mix of 50-50 automatic transmission fluid and acetone.
Note the "home brew" was better than any commercial product in this one particular test.
Your experience may vary."
