Using April fools as an excuse to get wildly stoned on toxic solvent fumes on UA-cam. This man is a genius... At least he used to be. I imagine he only has a few brain cells left after this.

Well done, I’m not sure if Todd from “Project Farm” would have done it differently, (I would expect weight and temperature testing as well) I would like to nominate him as well as AvE, ToT, BigClive,HTR and VVG to the Northern Hemisphere Consortium for the tasting (I mean testing) of lubricants for the use in mechanical contrivances! Again well done!
Things learned: 1) UA-cam does not forbid the huffing of chemicals on channel videos. 2) Mixing your penetrants can produce interesting results. 3) HTR likes to huff stuff! LOL
While some may confuse this video with a joke, as it is April 1st. I assure you this is no laughing matter and this man is in fact serious. Nothing is more important than the smell of penetrating lube. Thank you for selfless service to bring forth such important information.
Agreed. I'm sensitive to smells. As silly as it sounds, this is useful to me. Even if it's only a fraction of a fraction of an improvement of my daily life because realistically you only smell it for a few seconds anyway.
Eric, thank you for taking the time to record and share your comparisons of these uber useful products. As an aside, I was surprised to see your immaculately clean hands. As a dedicated follower of your channel (is that creepy?), it never occurred to me that you could leave your shop to wash up! Way to go.
I know the story of why the PL-100 smells like cured bacon. It began in 1985 with a man named Pierre Labouchère who wanted a distinctive Canadian flair to his penetrating oil formulation. He instructed his scientists to add the extract of virgin sap from 100 year old blue maple trees, which is a rare and relatively unknown species, only found in the most remote regions of Nunavut. The acidic nature of this extract makes it unsuitable for syrup production but is ideal for breaking down hydrated iron oxides and curing meats, particularly pork, hence your association of its smell with bacon. Because the addition of this versatile extract was so revolutionary in the industry, the marketing folks decided to commemorate Pierre's contributions by naming the product PL-100 and providing it in a blue can. Fascinating history. 🍻
Marvel Mystery Oil has always been my favorite. Still smells good when you torch something seized up but still just enough like cancer so you know you shouldn’t be huffing it.
its got that pepto bismol wintergreen smell. if you run it as mix oil in a 2 stroke it smells great. but its not too good for the engine most of the times.
This should be done in front of a rip-roaring fire in a woodstove. The final test to see is what colors these sprays create when shot directly into the fire.
Like his regular restoration videos aren't "silly" Handtool Rescue videos are the only ones, when they drop and my phone dings that I stop whatever I am doing and watch it.
Fluid film is more of an automotive under coating. I agree with everyone else, I like the Project Farm style take, good to hear more than just a word or two from you in a single video!
Starrett's M1 has vanilla scent added to its formula, it is very recognizable when you smell it and a bit confusing when you stop to eat after drenching your hands in it
This has been my 5-year-old daughter's absolute favorite video for the past few months. "Can we watch the silly guy again? I want the smelling video," she says. She cracks up, and I mean like hunched-over belly laughs, every time you combine the three oils at the end and exclaim, "Augh! I've done it!" I told her I thought it was great that out of all the videos on the internet, she chose this one as her favorite, and that she loves watching restoration videos so much. She asked, "Why? Why is restoration so important? Because it teaches us not to inhale dangerous chemicals like this?" (Her vocabulary, as you might be able to tell, is more advanced than your average 5-year-old.) I took the opportunity to explain a few reasons that it's good not to just toss something when it breaks and get a new one, and it created yet another teaching and bonding opportunity. We just started watching it, and when you asked, "Is smelling inhaling?" she responded, "Yes," at the same time you said it. Man, it makes me laugh and swell with pride.
I hadn't thought of doing a test. But, two products that I don't mind the smell. I have used Hoppe's gun solvent as a penetrant when I was in a bind. It smells pretty good. Marvel Mystery Oil doesn't smell bad, either.
WHY WAS I JUST THINKING OF LOOKING FOR THIS EXACT VIDEO YESTERDAY! You have manifested my thoughts, WITCH! I love watching your videos, never stop being you.
It is good to see someone appreciate these things as they are. The damn kids these days add weird energy potions and fruit bits to everything. I prefer WD40 in the morning and something a little headier in the afternoon. I save the PB Blast for when I want everyone to leave.
If that certain C word smells as such where you loose all senses in the sniffer there be something really bad going on . Whomever owns that C Needs to have it looked at . Something might have died in there 😕
This video held double duty. Not only do we now know which penetrant has the best smell, but we're also closer to finding Randy Quaid. I had heard that he and his wife moved to Canada in 2010. This video confirms the rumors. "Clark, that's the gift that keeps on giving the whole year."
You know you're watching the right videos when Cousin Eddie makes it into the comments. "A word of warning though. If he does lay into you, it's best to just let him finish."
This video might be a joke, but I'd gladly buy a penetration oil based on the fact that it smells better. I absolutely hate using PB Blaster because of the smell. No matter how careful you are when using penetrating oil you always get it all over your clothes and it always hits you in the face. The smell lingers on you all day.
O. M. G. This video was practically one hysterical one-liner after another! I haven’t laughed that much for ages 🤣 I hope you didn’t slay too many brain cells making this one lol
This takes me back to grade school, but we didn’t call it smelling. The best penetration oil I have ever used is 50% acetone, 50% automatic transmission fluid. It has a delicate bouquet.
Hello, how is everything? I'm from Brazil and I watch your videos every day, they're amazing. Do you recover tools as a hobby or to sell or at the request of customers?
Oh i didn't knew i needed this so much, i live in Mexico and not all those brands get here but it's nice to know how to create the best smell possible.
I like "open and shut" made with tetrachloroethylene, the fluid that's been used in dry cleaning forever, it also works well for drilling and tapping, if you own the tap and die set from Canadian tire with the blue plastic inside, tetrachloroethylene will dissolve the blue plastic.
This is a comparison that I did not expect, but which I needed. Unfortunately, apart from WD40, I will not get the other two specifics in Poland to feel the power of the mixture, but I still have WD40 to smell classic on a daily basis and on holidays. Thank you.
If another test is ever performed I suggest getting tri-flow (smells of oranges) personally my favorite and I’ve smelled 6 out of the 10 you tested, works amazing to boot
I use tri-flow for car door locks in winter, keeps them from freezing up too much. I do not get a smell of oranges from it though, I wish haha Fluid film is one of the most potent smelling, and not very good either, I have undercoated a car with it and it was truly a smelly time!
I’m a locksmith, we use tri flow all the time and ’ve always gotten fake banana smell from it. Actually I’ve become quite tired of the smell now though, but it’s nice because customers don’t usually mind the smell.

nominating BigClive to do the UK version (even though he technically doesn't live there)
keep your stick on the ice
Gotta add Vice Grip Garage, every car he rescues gets a sniff test and an expert review.
Seems like Project Farm should be in there too.
Well done, I’m not sure if Todd from “Project Farm” would have done it differently, (I would expect weight and temperature testing as well) I would like to nominate him as well as AvE, ToT, BigClive,HTR and VVG to the Northern Hemisphere Consortium for the tasting (I mean testing) of lubricants for the use in mechanical contrivances!

We gonna test that
Don't forget the friction test and viscosity. Very things to know
BigClive would try to carbonate it
I saw the thumbnail and title and immediately assumed it was Project Farm!

This is no mere huffing of chemicals. This is SCIENCE.
There's a drastic difference between "huffing" something vs just smelling something that was wafted under your nose. ;)

The wife factor should earn this man a medal. Gotta find that lube that doesnt result in sleeping on the couch.
I'm disappointed that PB Blaster doesn't smell like peanut butter.
We used PB Blaster exclusively at our shop, where it was commonly referred to as 'panther p!ss'. Peanut butter would be a great scent for it!
I was surprised to find that it doesn't. I mean "PB", wtf are they thinking?
Take my thumbs up you beautiful person...
there are not very many things in this world that smell worse than PB.

There are two answers, WD40 and wrong answers.
WD-40 and Kroil.

If they made a WD 40 scented Axe Body Spray... I'd wear that all day long.
Nothing that Atracks a lady quicker than that! 😱😍
America's favorite libation
Edit: oddly enough my phone auto completed that...
Just use the WD? That has to be one of it's 40 uses, and it's probably cheaper per mL
I love the scent of WD40! And on a man, it speaks to me of usefulness and a good work sweat!
They do. It’s called WD-40.
Fluid film is more of an automotive under coating. I agree with everyone else, I like the Project Farm style take, good to hear more than just a word or two from you in a single video!
Your 4/1 videos brighten my day!
Thank you for validating my love of the smell of penetrating oil - I can't wait to inform my family that I'm not insane.
You’re using something HE does to disprove your insanity??? He’s just confirming it!!! 🤣🤣
This guy's the best. I can always count on a few good hearty laughs every time I watch one of his videos.

Ballistol was one you forgot to add to your smell test. G96 Gun Treatment has to be one of my favorites to use for its smell.
Kroll is the best. I've never had a penetration oil that removed nose hair as accurately
Acetone + Transmission fluid = Kroil
AMAZING! Thanks Eric@HTR. I love how most of the shots have your schnozz in it for the whiffing. LOVE IT. Good Recipe at the end.

Hoppes #9 Nitro Solvent!!! Love the smell of that stuff!
Smells like bananas
You are an international treasure. Please don't ever change 😂
Not specifically a penetrating oil, rather a weapon oil, but you absolutely have to have a sniff at "Ballistol". I absolutely love it!
How about Hoppe's No. 9? That's the smell of weapons to me.
Ballistol? Me too! With that stuff it´s either really loving or totally hating it, there´s no middle ground.

Thank you very much. I now know which one to use under my armpits for that exquisite smell and unnecessary lubrication. Top job!
This is the research we really need
Wish I recorded my taste test.
This is the greatest😂 my dad always called PB Blaster “panther piss” growing up
😂 In one word: Epic! 😂👍🏻👊🏻 Enjoying your vids every single time! Greatings from Holland.
I love that he says “poison” just like Krunk from The Emperors New Groove
“The poison, poison for Kusco. Kusco’s poison”
As a lifelong solvent and petroleum product huffer, this video appeals to me. Thank you.
> I hope you learned something.
I am certain that I did not.
I also suspect that you did whatever the opposite of learning is.
Best ASMR I saw this month. Top content.
ROFLMAO! I love your way of thinking, totally brilliant.
Quality content. I like to imagine every mug of brake cleaner went down the hatch.
It's probably gonna be HOPPE'S #9 POUR H'OMME 🙂
Haha! It's very manly stuff for sure.
Hope’s #9 solvent is better! Although my all time favorite is lacquer thinner!
Thanks. You knocked another one out of the park!!!
Defiantly one of the better vids I've seen TODAY
I thought this was a Project Farm at first. The thumbnail and the title had me going as their April Fool's entry.

Have to agree on Kroil. I love the smell and it works extremely well, too!
Was there any doubt? WD-40 is one of the greatest fragrances in the know universe. It has to be deliberately made to smell so good.
This was, without a doubt, the best penetrating oil smell test video, I've ever seen.

I like "open and shut" made with tetrachloroethylene, the fluid that's been used in dry cleaning forever, it also works well for drilling and tapping, if you own the tap and die set from Canadian tire with the blue plastic inside, tetrachloroethylene will dissolve the blue plastic.
So, when is the taste test for metal polishes??? Gad! I love watching your videos.
