Glad I Found Out About KROIL Penetrating Oil

- Have you guys heard of Kroil Penetrating Oil?
The steering column on this roller is designed to slide all the way to the right or left side of the machine.
After spraying the bar it’s slides on with Kroil, there’s a huge difference on how easy it is to slide.
I had never heard of Kroil until a Cat mobile mechanic came out to the job to fix my skid steer and he was using it- he told me it’s the best penetrating oil you can get.
I wanted to change the wheels on this trailer, so I sprayed the lug nuts with Kroil to let them soak.
A couple hours later I backed the trailer into my garage to switch them out.
These lug nuts came off relatively easy with my quarter inch impact.
A friend of mine had a set of used rims and tires that are the exact same as the ones on my trailer and offered to give them to me, and I was glad to have them.
Kroil’s been around since 1939, they say it can penetrate into the smallest spaces.
It has an interesting smell- reminds me of cherry flavored medicine. @hausplans

I use it as cologne/air freshener
Nice 😂
Same .... until my girlfriend moved in .
I would probably check if it’s healthy to be constantly breathing that in
Edit: Why did I get ratio’d so hard? I may have been a little drowsy but damn I don’t think what I said was that illogical.
@@DMGSL its almost certainly not lol
@@thcenterprisellc112 maybe that's why she moved in
Grandpa was a machinist. He told me the best penetrating oil is 50/50 acetone and transmission fluid. Kroil is awesome aswell!!
50/50 used motor oil and used transmission fluid is an old school way of undercoating your car. Definitely works
It’s the best indeed!
@@leviwooten3795 my car does this automatically
@@barbaraclements8068 and just remember as long as it’s leaking, there’s still fluid in there. It’s when the leaking stops you should worry
Liquid wrench is the only thing that out performed it
In the 70’s I used to operate a 4000 Ton forge press, stamping 2300 degree steel into track links. When it was time to change the dies, we used to clean the cavity with kroil that we would dispense with the gallon can it comes in. Penetration of the cavity would mix with the graphite based dielube has a very different and memorable fragrance that has stuck in my memory since 1973.
Very cool!
Just heat whatever, add some Kroil and wham! Your frozen or stuck bolts or whatever and it will penetrate your rusty metal objects and lubricate them to free them up like magic!
👍
PB Blaster
Automatic fluid and diesel fuel.
Sometimes you have to apply it for a few days but it will work.
Been an avid user of Kroil for near 40 years. If you have something that just won't give up, I spray Kroil, then WD-40, then Kroil again. Never had it fail.
Kroil, heat, Kroil. If that doesn't work, might as well break it.
@@KC9UDXbring out the gas axe
45 years I have used everything , PB blaster, Gibbs, Kroil all do the same job . working on farm implements everything gets rusty in a hurry . Heat is the best thing ever .
That makes sense about using heat
This is very very true, if u can't break it free heat it and I bet she will
They all do well, except for wd40. Too many people think wd40 is a competitive penetrating oil and it's just bad.
@@jaredlancaster4137 wd 40 was meant for electric components motors and relays .
The worst of the worst jobs get alternating hits of kroil and heat, I can remember of only one time that didn’t work and I bet it was my fault anyway.
Kroil is old school and it works!
hard to beat freeall....frees up the rustiest stuff I have every had. PB blaster is glorified smell
Used KROIL in the squeeze squirt can for 25 years. Removed copper fouling from rifle barrels and helps remove stuck bullets in barrels.
Kroil has been my go to for nearly 30 years! You will not be disappointed. 👍
Man that view of the Kroil spray misting everything is so accurate, my eyes burn just watching
Kroil is great... for $27 a can...
The way he sprayed it hurt my heart
Highly recommend kimball midwest torq cb it’s $15 a can and it is so much better than kroil
Yeah here for this ....prices have gone nuts ,i dont think theres a spray can of anything at the store thats under 7-8$ anymore.
The half sized cans of duplicolor exact match paint are 17$ here!
@@calebread5234 yeah i was like that's gotta be at least a 5.00$ spray 😂oof!
Kroil is good stuff
I like the new BP adjustable spray cap.
As a HVAC technician……I keep about four cans at any given time in my service van.
You can’t beat it!
That's awesome. People complaining about $27 bucks when it can save you hundreds in lost time.
@@nevinkuser9892 it’s not cheap…….but good!
Liquid wrench or 50/50 acetone/ATF is definitely better
@@christianclark2763Liquid Wrench FTW.
Kroil is the shit! Best I've ever used and have been in industrial maintenance for over 25 years. I couldn't begin to tell you how many different penetrating oils I've used over the years.
That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing
How Does it compare to PB blaster
@Gabe M. from what I've read in the chat, they are equivalent. I've never used PB blaster. If it is indeed equivalent, I'll have stopped looking if i found that first. But i found kroil, first.
For example, from experience;
Take a stainless 8-32 machine screw about 2 inches long, attach something to a ¾" plate of aluminum, take acid, caustic and sanitizer and splash that on the dissimilar metals. The stainless, being very noble compared to the aluminum, is unaffected. The aluminum, on the other hand, does its best to disintegrate, swell, bind and lock the screw into place. With kroil, working the screw back and forth, it will give and not gall. I've even had stainless nuts gall on stainless bolts. That situation is almost never recoverable. Kroil is the only thing that gives me hope in that situation. But, like i said, if i came across PB blaster first, i might have not had to look any more. I will stick with the kroil. But if i had a can of the blaster, I'd try it out.
Edit: only changed 'slash' to 'splash'. My phone has a rough time 'P'eeing.
Yes sir. Im a union journeyman millwright. I've used a bunch of different Penetrating oils and kroil is by far the best!
Pb blaster isn't as good as kroil
PB Blaster. I've never used kroil.. will give it a try👍🏻
What's PB?
P B blaster. Decent stuff. Can't beat kroil
Don't bother. Pb is way better
I have a gallon, don['t see much difference, but it was over $80
Same PB for me too. But would like to try kroil
I used Kroil when restoring an old, very rusty motorcycle. Kroil was recommended by a friend and was amazed at how well it worked. No snapped bolts or stripped screws. Stuff really works. Let it soak for at least 24hrs if you can.
Very cool! What kind of bike?
Been using it for years! Once had to rebuild a machine that was 25 plus years old. Kroil was used and the tear down went great!
I usually go for free-all. It works great and doesn't come with the ridiculous price tag that Kroil does.
But it smells worse than wd40, to me. It does work well though.
@@Powerwagon563 I'm more concerned with effectiveness than what it smells like.
Exactly. I just as good or better and half the price
Yeah kroil is expensive it’s the new Milwaukee 😂 it’s good but cmon don’t need to be that expensive
“Hank Hill has left the chat with his can of WD40”
😂
I only use WD-40 and it hasn't ever made me mad. Plus it smells great in a way especially compared to PB.
Don't forget his little can of WD40 for when he can't get the lid off the normal one
@@AudioGardenSlave123 we use WD-40 to kill wasps. That is the best way I ever got use with it.
@@Carla-tz7qw Don't talk trash on my cologne. Never thought of using it on wasps but me thinks brake cleaner would be a cheaper and more effective method.
This stuff has a cult like history.
About 30yrs ago I used it on an old fiber glass boat finish, after applying it then buffing it off the results were amazing. Great stuff .
👍very cool
Kroil is a staple of any machine shop
Kroil is the smell of manhood, success, and getting shit done
👍
I've been a professional mechanic for 4 decades. I've used pretty much every penetrating oil out there. The 2 best products, BY FAR, are Kano Kroil, and Brute Force. I'm fairly certain they are the exact same chemical, just marketed under different names.
The only drawback is that they are VERY expensive. One standard-sized aerosol can can cost over $20. I recommend getting a chemical rated squirt/spray bottle, and buying the 1 gal. can. You'll be less likely to just saturate the exposed area of whatever component you're trying to free up, so the product will last much longer.
Saturating parts, where 99% of the chemical ends up everywhere EXCEPT where you need it, is the single biggest waste of penetrating oil. You have to learn patience and let the chemical soak in to do its job.
Good advice
Brush it on, less waste.
I've been using Kroil since I was a kid, and I've had no reason to look for something different. It's never let me down.
I was a technical expert (engineer) for three different major industrial manufacturers. At the divisions I worked for I was the in house lubrication expert. I've conducted extensive tests on different lubricants and penetrating oils. Most of the premium spray products performed well but each had certain qualities that made them preferable for different application. Like easy on human skin, easy to clean up, better in the cold, and even favorable scents. The other main takeaways is the importance of shaking the can. Otherwise the anti wear or lubricating ingredients sit in the bottom of the can and all you're spraying is the solvent carrier. Next takeaway is more is not better. Most people use about ten times more spray that necessary. Once the surface is wet with lube, that's enough. By the way I own cans of almost every brand of lubricant but my two preferred brands are Duralube spray, and Tri-Flow.
How did your tests compare to Project Farm?
I have only used Tri Flow, and it works
I’ve always used pb blaster and seems to work alright
I use that to
@Jake I watch Project form to
Thats what our whole company uses. Shit works.
@Jake that guy is freaking badass when it comes to reviews!! I love it!
"Free All" for the win fellas.
My mom always brought it home from work and i remember finding anything and everything to use that stuff in. Loved everything about it
I found it completely facinating that you were able to get lugnuts off your trailer with a 1/4 drive impact. Either that's an extremely strong impact or that's a super good penetrating fluid! It's a win no matter the reason!
Those impacts have more power than you realize
Anyone that pays for kroil knows you don’t miss what your spraying lol
Yeah that crop duster application has my wallet cringing
You can tell he ain't paying for it.
We use it in aviation all the time. Sometimes, a lavatory will smell terrible and we don't have the ability to service them at my station, so a good amount a Kroil gets sprayed under a cabinet or toilet shroud and it makes the lav smell like pinesol for the next trip.
😂
Always liked the way CRC smells too
The thing about Kroil is that if you can afford it, your stuff likely isn't rusty enough to need it. But if you wrench for a living, the time and effort it saves you makes it the cheapest consumable in the toolbox.
Been using Kroil for over 30 years! It does work very well yet, any port in a storm works, Lots of other good stuff out there also. It's hard to find most of the time, not many places carry it. I guy it by 12 pack case. Glad you like it
Owned a shop 25 years Kroil is our go to.. the absolute best!
Very cool
Been using it for 30 years, always reminds me of my dad on the farm that still swears by it. Give it time and it will work wonders!!
👍👍
That's why I use it. It's good stuff, but the smell of it takes me back to simpler times spent with my dad
Kroils the best I've ever used and have for the last few decades now.
Something seized at our diesel shop. "Get the WD-40, NO get the blaster, no get the oxy torch....." I said stand back. Got the AeroKroil, popped the cap, and the bolt came loose before i could spray it.. It's that good....
😂😂
It really is the best. Old head mechanic introduced me to it when he saw me using PB. Sprayed PB and Kroil into two separate styrofoam cups. Man I was sold when the Kroil ate right through and the PB was still working on it 🤣
That would be great if I were buying a styrene solvent. But it's creep properties are what we're interested in...Both of these are quite good penetrants, each with their own following.
Look up a long video by @Project Farm He did an in depth test of penatrating oil and Kroil was one he tested. It wasn't the winner.
Interesting, thanks 👍
What was the test? I can say iv used them all. Overall in real world situations nothing compares to kroil with heat.
@@appalachianamerican1776 Did you search for and watch the video?
I was hoping someone would say something about this
😂
Project Farm isn't scientific enough to be useful.
Been using Kroil for 30yrs. Good stuff!
We use it daily. Its awesome stuff. Great smell as well.
Kroll is great but so is atf fluid cut w/ acetone at about 10% of the cost. You gotta put it in a suit bottle & shake it but for most applications it's almost as good.
Exactly, here's the comment i was looking for!
I've heard this a lot. Why exactly do you need to thin it with acetone? I've used ATF alone, and it works as well as anything.
@@jaredlancaster4137acetone thins it a bit, making it easier to get though all cracks and other tiny spaces.
Mentioned a fantastic remedy but not the ratio
@@livingonabudget1890 50/50 iirc for what my In-laws told me
Kroil is great in tool and die applications too, especially if youre having issues with parts sticking in a die.
We used this in our machine shop for years and it works great!
Very cool!
I use kroil every day at work. Love it
We used this a lot too in commercial aviation as an aircraft tech. Especially around engines where bolts get pretty stubborn from getting extremely hot over and over. Spray some kroil and wait 5mins. It’ll usually come right off without snapping the head.
Use it in commercial aviation too. Jet engine seized bolts from heat stand no chance against this stuff. Is actually the only chemical on our 'approved chemical' list for this type of use. Actually called Aero Kroil.
(25 year commercial jet mechanic)
Been using Kroil for many yrs in the power generation industry. It’s the best I’ve used, ever.
Nice
Kroil is the best, learned about it from a buddy when I first started working on cars 7 years ago and it’s all I use now. Never fails me.
The slide bar is covered with rust at first, then it's all shiny and polished.
Hmm, Steel wool might have done better without attracting dust.
Been using it for decades. Nothing better
An older gentleman showed me Free All. I now use it and have found it to be pretty good.
I like free all as well but can't find it
O'Reillys
@@terryhaley9680 thank you
All other lubricants ceased to exist once I found this stuff back in 2015.
✅
It Used to be Kroll in the 90's.
Guy gave me a partial can of Kroil 35+ years ago & been using it since. I think the company was recently purchased - Their distribution model has changed anyway. Hopefully new owners don't screw it up.
👍
I don't think the can I have would ever last that long.
@@joemiller6278 i've bought a LOT more since then!
I’ve been using Kroil since I was in Aircraft Maintenance school in 1987. We had one of their reps come and give us a demonstration on its capabilities and I’ve never used WD40 again.
Kroil is amazing! I've used it for years. The only thing that can even come close to it as PB Blaster and that is a distant second.
Ive always found a squirt can with plane jane oil does a great job. May not be for everyone but i have always used it and it hasnt been outdone by anything else ive tried
We use fluid film. It’s a thicker consistency and sticks where you put it more than thinner oils; different applications for each of course but it’s generally our go to, especially something like that steering column. It would stay lubed for weeks.
as a millwright for 45 years i can attest that kroil is the best i have ever used, as long as the company is paying for it.
I worked 20 years on submarines as a mechanic, kroil is what we used. Stuff is great!
👍
Everyone that doesn't like the price should keep in mind, you get what you pay for. PB doesn't hold a candle to Kroil. I use it for frozen brake bleeder screws, haven't had a bleeder screw that wont come loose.
Kroil is the shit. It’s like wd40 and brake cleaner had a crack baby.
Facts 😂
So - "crack babies" are "the shit"? 🤨
Definitely the best penetrating oil, frees up rusted stuff like crazy, but its also "very expensive" but you get what you pay for.
Yes definitely four five times as expensive as other penetrating oils
Why not WD-40? probably ¼ the cost? I never even heard of the one you show here. Been around for 59 years and haven't even heard of that "Great working Penetrating oil"? WTF?
@@tbusch63 I consider wd-40 a very light penetrating oil. But what it does is it leaves a slight film behind helping prevent future rust, which is good.
@@tbusch63 even the makers of WD-40 don't consider it to be a. Penetrating oil... But after watching a bunch of videos about penetrating oil.. it just doesn't matter.. if it makes us feel better we put it... You know where it does help is to put that little tube for the WD-40 underneath a hose... That's stuck sprayed around in that definitely helps
@deepsquat600 Well, Phuck. You must not have heard or read about how WD-40 was made? Bummer for you! WD-40 was made as a lubricant. Then he found out it was a water repellant!! Huh, imagine! that!!!!! I am old enough to know about this!! So you can BITE ME!!!
I was introduced to this at a playing plant where the nuts and bolts would oxidize from all the moisture in the air coupled with the electricity going through them. It was fantastic but expensive. Now that I have to buy Kroil, I've found that a product called Blaster works for about 90% of the things where a penetrating is needed but when that doesn't work I go to the Kroil.
Used Kroil for 40 years as an industrial gas turbine millwright. Good stuff. Supposed penetrate spaces less than .0000001"
I was first introduced to Aero Kroil working on commercial airplanes, since that’s what the company supplies. Seems to work pretty good! Another good product I never see mentioned is Rost Off Gold by Wurth. We stock it in my fathers auto shop. It’s a foaming rust releaser that seems to really stay where you spray it. You can actually see the rust start to dissolve soon after it’s applied.
That Rust Off Gold product sounds interesting
We used to get a BG can that foamed. It lasted forever and worked great.
Aerokroil is pricy, but worth every penny
Agree
@@hausplans got rusty frozen tools? Soak it in this stuff for 6 months and BAM! good as new!
@@jerseyclamboi6353Plain water will do the same thing- at half the cost.
I've know about krol for most of my life thanks to my uncle it doesn't stink and works great still use it
Kroil is a "creeping oil" that is capable of penetrating into places most oils aren't capable of. I put Kroil on every fastener I need to remove on any vehicle I'm working on. Same goes for any gunsmithing I'm doing. I never touch a screw or pin without first putting a drop of Kroil on it.
In a bind if you're out of Kroil, some auto parts stores sell a product that works almost as well. It even smells similar. It's a penetrating oil made by CRC called Freeze Off.
I use PB Blaster.
Not as good and stinks
Kroil is a great penetrating oil for sure, but not many people know you can add it to your liquor as a cherry substitute 😂
They should remove the "do not taste" from the can. They'd probably sell a lot more.
@@DG-kq8zf joke's on them... I can't read
I have an old house with steam heating. I was installing a new radiator & steam valve and couldn’t remove the original steam valve which has been there since 1932. I sprayed kroil and let it sit overnight- I did it again the next morning. That afternoon using a 24” pipe wrench I managed to remove the old steam valve. I originally tried PB Blaster, then Deep Creep and neither penetrated sufficiently to free up the valve
The very best for steam pipes is bees wax. Heat the threads apply wax. Done deal
@@bigj3086yep, working on blast furnaces and other industrial applications of high heat, tough environments. About the only thing that works is oxy acetylene and beeswax. Get it hot rub it on into the threads and it goes right in, then can be torn apart.
That stuff is AMAZING! I use it all the time. I have fir 25 years.
Kroil, WD40 and PB blaster are the best all with their own distinctive advantages.
👍👍
The only thing wd40 is good for is cleaning plastic shit under the hood. Its garbage
You should try SeaFoam Deep Creep.
Memories of my child hood home of Dad working in the garage. That smell. Good stuff
I really love using The liquid wrench penetrating oil it has never failed me
I like a man who’s done his research
Kroil is the god send for metals it really is the greatest of all time worth the price
My Dad swore by it, we had cans all over his garage for years. he was a bus mechanic and used it everyday until he retired
I used to work for a company that bought it in 55 gal drums. Stuff works great.
I have used coil for decades the best of I ever found, I would not be without it
the zep 45 is a good one too. it's got tephlon in it. it's our go-to for getting stubborn 5th wheel plates to unlock and slide. maybe I will try the kroil?
Liquid wrench is "better" but you can basically use any penetrating oil, then maybe recoat PB surface shield. If it's super stuck, heat is your best friend.
Project Farm tested a bunch and liquid wrench came out on top.
Kroil has been my go to penetrating oil for 33 years, when I buy a can it’s always two.
Im 63. I remember using it as a 10 yr old on the farm.. Definitely the best
yes blaster works very good too
Kroll makes commercial jets fly, trust me
That’s awesome!
And the inground runway lighting serviceable.
Deep creep is good too, I use Kroil in a grease zerk buster setup. You fill up a small vial with Kroil and then put a plunger in and hit it with a hammer while connected to a grease zerk.
Awesome stuff. Used it as an industrial maintenance tech.
It's the greatest when you can get it free, but at $30 a can not very practical. I buy Liquid Wrench and WD in gal cans and fill spray bottles. Kroil is good stuff!
Im a PB Blaster kinda guy myself! But ill have to check this out
It's better than pb blaster but cost like 3x as much.
It's all we use!!! It moved a frozen valve at the Niagara power plant that was frozen solid for 35 years.
Wow
My dad use to bring a can home from work. Good stuff..
And it smells great too !
Kroil is good stuff. 40+ years spinning wrenches. 30 in aviation. Kroil works. Period.
Good to know 👍
20 years working on airplanes Kroil absolutely!.
My local hvac koch warehouse started carrying this stuff a couple months ago. Got one of the little cans, no need for a motor puller anymore👍
👍👍
Used Kroil to get a outlet nox sensor out of a Freightliner. Paired with a torch it came out with ease. It’s worth every penny.
Nice
I also use "PB blaster". It's just as good👍
But how can you smell and stand the stink of that PB blaster I hate the smell it it's insane
@@meditationdrumartprojectca4835 you don't PB blaster as deodorant, or car refrehsner or air freshener. Instead is used to free up rusted nuts and bolts. Get it?👍
The that instead and you will be satisfied unless your purpose is different.🫠
Sea foam deep creep is just as good if not better.
Kano AeroKroil.
Invented for the aeronautical industry.
It's expensive but works extremely well.
I've used it for decades.
I have heard of Kroil before. I've never used it, but heard it was good stuff. I use PB Blaster.😁🙏
Best stuff ever. Been using it for years
Kroil is good stuff we use it at my machine shop
