Seafoam Deep Creep: amzn.to/31kSNBw
Liquid Wrench: amzn.to/32f2AIG
So... does this mean people should spray their engines down with Sea Foam Deep Creep to prevent rusting?
@@TheRealNormanBates it's not a bad idea to spray something in your engine especially if you thinking of putting it into the storage for longer preiod of time. I would spray something into the intake while cranking engine and then hand crank and spray individually in each spark plug hole or injector port if it's a diesel. i would mix all brands togheter to obtain all features lol
I would have liked to have seen Vinegar used in these tests as well.
@@kevinradford9336He used vinegar in earlier tests.
I'd suggest using a wire brush to clean and clear exposed fastener threads, is probably more important than the fluidic ability to carry the nut over the threads. Really breaking free frozen nuts and bolts should be the big consideration here..
As a professional mechanic in the rusty midwest i used to be a PB blaster guy until i saw your videos. Switched to liquid wrench and haven't gone back. Best performance for the price.
Even if PB was a bit better i won't use unless it's all i have handy, The " Blaster in the name is an accurate description of what happens when ya push down on the snozzel..
Thank you very much! I have a lot of rust to deal with on the farm and Liquid Wrench is my go to product due to the price and amount of product I use.
Shoot, I also posted almost the same comment above
@@ProjectFarm
I usually have to deal with rusted latches, such as pintle hooks, instead of bolts in my job. I used to use WD40, but now that I've watched your comparison, I think I'll switch to the cheaper Liquid Wrench.
Ikr. The gibs might be better, but good lord, not for 3x the price of liquid wrench.
Test after test:
Project comes out on top
Thank you very much for the positive feedback!
I hear secretly he came in second place in the Truck Bed Liner test.
You know what I think would be really cool , a recap episode, maybe every 6 months where you just told us the best out of multiple tests for multiple products so I can make a shopping list next time I go to the hardware store. Thanks for all the super awesome content.
Great suggestion! Thank you
@@ProjectFarm Here's a suggestion for the 4 stroke bike engine: You could install an efi kit from ecotrons or use an electric ducted fan as a pseudo-supercharger or both
@@ProjectFarm I honestly would buy an e-book. I no-shit watched an entire video on construction adhesive at home depot just to remember the one I needed was part 2.
@@ProjectFarm Just make a Google Sheets document that lists all of the best products, according to your tests. You could make it read-only and public, then share the link in every video as you update it.
I was just thinking it could be helpful to make google sheets documents with all the tests and all of the results, for comparison with older tests and for quick and easy reference
single greatest youtube channel on this earth. my god
Thanks!
The only part of Monday’s I like
Awesome! Thank you!!

Wow, you must be fun
Expand your world some, Mousetrapmondey by Shawn Woods is also very enjoyable.
Dude! Where have you been all my life!!! Absolutely LOVE this channel! Content and presentation is most excellent! Thank you so very much!
Thank you very much!!
His oilympics series of videos has been super helpful. Check those out!
Yeah project farm is one of my favorite channels on youtube.
this was my first reaction as well. Welcome to the know.
The level of dedication to the test you perform is awe inspiring. As always, thank you!
Thank you very much!
Hey PF, I used to drive Caterpillar 777 rock hauling trucks in a mining company. Every December, the maintenance crew would start winter rebuild services and to remove the giant lug nuts, they would heat them with an oxygen acetylene torch and then immediately hit them with ice water. The expansion and contraction breaks the rust very quickly. Usually one time around would loosen the nuts.
Excellent vid and a very methodical approach as usual. Appreciate your time and effort.
That's very interesting! I should put together a video on various strategies of using heat. Thanks again!!
how hot would they heat the lug nuts? They must have heated one at a time then hit with ice water?
TheRoadhammer379 I'm sure it works but I'd be worried about it fracturing the material possibly leading to a catastrophic failure some point down the road.
@@brianjonker510, I watched them a few times and they would get the nuts glowing orange. Now not every nut got heated, most would come off with the impact and they replaced all of the nuts with new ones. The nuts were throwaways, they would try to not destroy the studs.
@@TheMattc999, I know in the three years of employment, I never wrote up broken studs or nuts on the inspection report. But bear in mind, these trucks had like 46 lug studs to bear the load.
You should compare different anti seize pastes. Like aluminum vs copper vs zinc...
Great suggestion! Thank you
Good idea
@@ProjectFarm Have you ever tested paint strippers?....or did I just not find it yet?
x2
Agreed! I've always used permatex anti-seize for spark plugs, exhaust bolts etc. but if there is a better alternative I'm all ears :)
Thank you for the video!! You saved me a ton of time and money! I had a rusty wheel hub that would not come off even with a 7 ton pulley puller. I soaked it with Seafoam Deep creep, let it sit a few hours, cranked the pulley puller one turn and the hub broke free! After we took the hub off we could see were the Seafoam really did creep deep into the grooves. Awesome stuff!! Thanks again!
You are welcome!
I really, really appreciate this channel. To do all of this completely unbiased and refusing sponsorships is a huge testament to how much you legitimately care about us consumers. Thank you for what you do and I hope to continue to see your videos for a long time coming.
Thank you
I could never get enough of your awesome testing videos! :-) A++
Electronicsnmore, thank you very much for the positive comment! The desalinator you built is absolutely genius! Looking forward to your next video!!
Todd - Thanks for sharing - When I sat down to watch this video I had a lot of energy and was getting ready to do work around the house. After watching this video, and thinking about all of the work that you did to make it, I am thoroughly exhausted and have no energy left. :-)
lol. Thank you very much!!
>waiting for this video to finish while I'm standing in Lowe's so I know which product to get so I can get the oxygen sensors loose from my exhaust.
I hope you have good success getting it out. Time helps these products do their job!
Add a MAP gas torch to your shopping list!
If you need to get result fast, skip to the end. He always has a quick to read analysis!
🤣 same here goes for any other category of item review
@@ProjectFarm Saving lives as you can see ;)
Time for another penetrating oil showdown? I’d love to see a “mechanics” format. Maybe do 3 arrays of bolts, and apply penetrant in the vertical, horizontal and upside down, all using the spray nozzle. It should only sit fir 15-30 min MAX. This would better replicate shop conditions, where time is money! Keep up the great work!
Can you do a video on the various spray on rust converters on car bodywork or at least effectiveness of different methods?
I'd be interested in that too
Terrific video idea! Thank you
@@ProjectFarm Be sure to include Rust Bullet in the test, I SWEAR by that stuff!
@@ProjectFarm Masterseries Silver is the most underrated I know of.
Bilt Hamber Hydrate 80 is the best "rust converter" paint I've used except for the industrial stuff that I was told I couldn't buy anymore for some reason. It's mostly made of the same stuff, so idk why I can buy one and not the other, but oh well.
My 1990 Evinrude engine on my boat has only been fished in saltwater. The paint is missing from all the fiberglass on the outside. My grandfather taught me to spray the engine on the inside with fluid film. It still looks like brand new not even the spark plugs have rust on them. That's 28 years of service in the salt still works great. I will never use anything else. Fluid film is the bomb.
Fluid Film is an amazing rust blocker!
I can second that. Fluid Film is quite good.
@@ProjectFarm Maybe that's a good test? Rust blockers. We use FF on our plow fleet (26 trucks, 14 Bobcat skidsteers, 1 JLG telehandler, 2 Kubota UTVs) and I'd be interested to see if there is anything out there that can beat it!
@@bigkatservices id say the product that Krown uses as an underbody rust protectant would give it a run for its money
@@dbonics420 there's a good head-to-head test!
Wow! I really like how you show the results in an easy to read chart! Thanks for the great video.
Thank you!
We can tell through your videos that you put a lot of time and thought into whatever it is you’re testing. Thank you for your help!
Thank you very much!!
Great episode (as always)! One thing I think is a good mention here is, if you can get the nut to move, it's very important to rock the nut back and forth as you remove it. This will almost always assure you get the nut off without stripping or breaking. Lord knows I have broken many off that initially loosened. Definitely took more times to learn my lesson than it should have :-)
Great tip! Thank you
Everybody gangsta till the nuts won't loosen up
Thank you!
I am a gangsta
That's when the 1400 lb impact comes out lol the nuts coming off with or without the stud lol
@@robzombie1845
What do you do with Wisconsin trucks where there's no flats left on the nut lol, not using an impact.
@@kylesonsalla7620 use a rocket socket
I really do appreciate your content. Everybody is always trying to get the right thing to do what they need it to do. And looking at your Patreon support page I read that you take no offers and are entirety supported by the subscribed viewers.
You've already helped me with information on various topics. I may not be able to make a payment on the page, but as soon as I can I will. You've already EARNED it.
Every once in a while I would pick up the Consumer Reports annual report at the magazine rack, while my Wife was getting groceries.
Being in Electronics for 30 years, I had many people ask me about which name brand is better. When they would mention 2 or 3 brands and I would then say that ALL of them were made in the same factory, different front boards and panels and all the rest identical.
That's why I asked about WD-40 and Boeshield, they smell the same.
Thank you for all your rust experiments! I live in Hawaii so rust is a constant battle!
Seriously, HOW do you get all this done? Are there 10 of you, or do you not require sleep?
Thank you very much! It takes 50-60 hours or more each week. I have about 5 projects going at once. lol. Thanks again!
@@ProjectFarm I assume this has become your full time job? Seems like a fun job for the technically minded though. It's fascinating to see what products actually do what they claim.
@@ProjectFarm Anything to do with farm implies long hours and hard work,
with the prospect of high risk.
Just to see what criteria Todd thinks is important, and the tests he comes up with: What 🧻 Toilet Paper is best?
lol. Maybe April 1 video? Thanks again!

Yesssss please do this
Thank you for all your hardwork brother! All that you do behind the scenes just to give us the good stuff! Well done! An award of some kind is in order...
Thank you so much 😀
Looooooooooove the dedication you put into these videos and tests. So thoughtful and thorough. Keep it up!
Thank you very much!
This guy is freaking awsome
Thanks for the positive comment!
Agreed
He really is
Saving me money for sure
God, i love this channel so damn much!
Thank you
brother, I absolutely LOVE your vids! You put so much effort into these. So well thought out and extremely entertaining and informative! Good job n THANK YOU.
You are welcome!
A lot of effort and time went into this, and it was extremely informative like always. This is my favorite of yours so far.
Thank you very much!
Never get bored when watching this
Thanks for the feedback
Project Farm is hands down, my favorite channel on UA-cam.
Thank you!
TBH man this guy summarising the results at the end of every video, is amazing! He follows a standard video format for all of his videos which is so awesome!
I appreciate that!
I get stuck watching your tests man. Kudos and you're so thorough about removing variables . I'm gonna have to think on something I've always wanted to test and comment on a video. You're definitely on my top five yt channels
Thank you!
Hello! Love these videos, keep up the good work!
Thank you for the positive comment and hope you enjoy the video!
First of all, great videos. I was thinking it would be great if you could further enhance the series and add CRC products to the tests. They have Screwloose and Freeze-Off. Another cool test would be to use an induction heater (Mini-Ductor) to see how well they would work with the penetrants since there is no flame.
Thanks for the suggestions.
Thanks for this! I posted this as a suggestion when it didn't initially come up when I searched for it, but you already did it. Thank you!
Thank you!
I was so glad to find this older video that I haven’t seen yet. If I haven’t seen every test video yet then I’m very close. I get excited every time I open UA-cam and see that you have a new video out.
Thanks!
Hey project farm love the videos I've been watching for a while now ! What are the odds of a list of your preferred products after testing over the years. I adore the tests however I feel like a cheat sheet would be super handy!
then he would get less views and less money
Thanks for the excellent videos. Very well done and very informative. I am surprised that these products only reduce force required to losten a rusted bolt by roughly 10% compred to the untreated control. I figured it would make more of a difference.
Thank you!
Well consider that these nuts were originally only torqued down to 80 Ft-Lbs. If they were torqued down with more force, more force would be required to get them off, that difference in ft-lbs would grow, and be even more significant. Also depending on the tool/wrench used, it could mean the difference in potentially breaking something like a ratchet vs not breaking it. Also he starts out with new bolts. If these were bolts that have been rusting for years, it could mean an even larger difference in force required for removal. Along with the fact that the heads might be even more worn, and more likely to strip, so less force might be the difference between stripping the head, or getting it off. The point is, you're always better off using something vs nothing. Also more time for penetration is always better. These things can come in super clutch in more sensitive areas/projects. Where a broken bolt, stripped head, etc...could be the difference between a 15 minute job or a 4 day pain in the ass project.
Your long term preparations and tests never stops to amaze me! Excellent!
Thank you very much!
I do have to say I've been watching your videos for quite some time now, and I always find myself looking forward to the next video. Are always done in such a great manner tests are always fair and even and I find myself with more knowledge after each video. Keep it up great job!
Thank you very much!
I do have to say oh, I would love to see you more Tire related videos. I'm an assistant manager at the Discount Tire in Amarillo Texas, and there are a lot of myths that surround tires that I would love to see you test that I don't have the ability to test
This was an awesome video thanks! 👍🚜
Thank you
Test Idea:
Private label engine oils.
I.E. Dollar General Napa Oreillys etc.
Thank you for the video idea!
I like the long term tests. They are far more conclusive in respect of performance. Thanks for your great reviews.
Thank you
I was just looking for this video, thanks!
You are welcome!
Looks like I’ll stick with my Liquid Wrench. Excellent video!
Thank you!
Me too... I've been impressed and happy with it..👍
Yes, very good product for its price.
If I could toss a few more suggestions:
-latex gloves
-so called rust protection products like Lloyds
-electrical contact cleaner
-ratchet straps
-2 stroke oil
Great suggestions! This helps. Thank you
Ratchet straps is a good one. Abrasion resistance, resistance to rust and sand, and strength
Excellent videos! Thank you for the thought and planning you put into your comparison tests, they really do help your audience make much more educated decisions. Question: although Gibbs produced the best overall result in tourque required, which of these 3 products would you use to remove a 2” trailer insert that has very solidly seized into the receiver? Would sea Foam’s ability to penetrate (and climb), and heat, be the most beneficial product to use in this situation??
Thank you again for your very informative videos
Love the oil baffle you got there on the lubricity tester. Always improving your methods kudos to you sir.
Thank you
This was surprising. I used to be a liquid wrench user, but once I used deep creep, I never looked back. It seemed to work 10x better on everything I used it on.
Thank you
The real winner is clearly Liquid Wrench, as it is half the price.
1/3 price
I agree with you.
Agree! Great product and really great price!
Been using it for years. So much cheaper plus I usually buy in bulk when it goes on sale so I can pretty much waste it and not cry lol
@@ProjectFarm Well for breaking free and Rusted.
Unreal channel. Thanks!
Todd, awesome video! I noticed that you paused the video at the breaking the torque in the bolts to show the amount to break it. I love it! It sure does show us the amount it happens. Tons of improvement in your video. Kept me entertained during your testing! Can't wait for the next Monday video 😃 😃
Thank you very much for the positive feedback!!
Kroil penetrating oil is the best stuff I've ever found. Should check it out sometime
Thank you!
He did before and it came in last.
Yes he did originally in his first test's.
Oh had no idea my bad guys, it's a shame it came in last haha maybe I should upgrade to a new brand
@@ProjectFarm any way you could do an oil lubricity test with the additive called RSR RAN-UP? They use it in a lot of high end sports cars and racing motorcycles and I always wondered if I was wasting my money by using it with every oil change
Are they similar ingredients? What happens when you mix them, do they improve?
These tests are getting better with every vid
Thank you very much!
I can’t get enough of your videos! Thanks again. Huge fan!
Thank you very much!
Time being a huge factor here... what happens if you wait even longer than 24 hours? Say you temporarily give up on a project but give your problem a little bit of penetrant once per day. Will it continue to get easier over time and when do you hit diminishing returns? Thank you for your videos as always!
I love how you said “ok we got a liquid wrench candle” so seriously
lol. Thank you!
This had me dead 😂🤣
Love your videos! Keep up the good work!!
Thank you! Will do!
And once again another well thought out,informative,unbiased comparison,danke'.
Thank you
would you consider a video on tire protectant/moistener?
down here in southern texas tires crack without it.
Great test idea! Thank you
Put them all up against a 50/50 mix of syn ATF and Acetone. I have had extremely good luck and it;s cheap to make.
Thank you! That's a great mix!
i heard brake fluid is a good one to use also
another great video PF, thank you
Thank you!
This video was nuts. Love your vids man
Thank you!
I'm sure this has been suggested but a paper towel video would be awesome.
Thank you! I need to test them soon.
Todd, did you try any of the home made
concoctions? ATF and acetone, is what
I'm thinking about. I'm sure there are others.
steve
Thank you! I tested ATF/acetone quite a while back and it did great.
I think this was kinda the best of the best type thing, he's tested a wide variety of things suggested for this type of application. These 3 just came out on top.
50% ATF and brake fluid works wonders as well.
Ave did a video on your suggestions.
@@Frost640 I haven't tried that one before, but it seems that it would be a great idea for old brake fluid that you wouldn't want to use in your car. If the container had been open too long for example.
Great Job Todd! I always look forward to your videos!
Thank you!
Another Great Monday Video! Keep on rolling them out! Better quality assessments than any other channel. Well done!
Thank you
Would've been nice if you included WD-40 in the party. Thanks for a very informative video again. You're the best!
That stuff doesn't work for nothing. Not worth the effort.
Thank you
I vote Liquid wrench simply because it Costs 1/3rd of vcd the others and does just as good or better.
I agree with you.
Great point! Thank you!
Congratulations on you creating a new market segment in your metal rust test: You managed to create 6 types of faux wood grain paneling!!! Truly impressive indeed!!

Glad it was helpful!
can you test the benefits of different spark plugs? Iridium, platinum and copper. see if the claims are really true
Thank you for the video idea!
E3 spark plugs for the win. Hands down. Factory plug in my chainsaw will allow me to cut wood for 20min. Switched to a E3 spark plug and I can now go 30min on one tank of fuel. Same with my lawnmower. I also use these in my truck and my wife’s van. I swear by them.
I love the comparison videos... so much better than "Will Jet fuel work in my mower." Keep 'em coming Baby!
Thank you!
Excellent thorough testing. I passed up SeaFoam for Liquid wrench years ago primarily over price. Worked fine over the years. But now it's been confirmed, I'd made the astute choice.
Thanks for the feedback!

Project Farm And thank you for responding your just an awesome youtuber half of them dont even read the comments
I'm really curious as to how well heat alone works compared to these products
Great point! Heat works extremely well from my experience.
@@ProjectFarm seriously, it seems to me that all of these products are "somewhat" helpful but only reduce the amount of torque needed by around 10 to 20 lbs, who is going to notice that without using a torque wrench? A simple propane torch seems to be a much better investment.
@@charlesrich3975 That 10 /20 lbs or more is a big difference if your reaching into a cramped space to bust a nut..
@@ronc8598 sorry but I can't read "bust a nut" without giggling, but in response, 10-20lbs difference compared to a normal torque value of 150lbs is not noticable by hand. Especially when heat alone has a significantly better effect.
@@charlesrich3975 I was referring to a place where it's a challenge to get a good pull or push on a wrench, and lighting a torch would send you and the equipment into a low earth orbit.. And i have busted a nut or two in some really cramped spaces, like drive in theaters etc..
Thank you for a showdown of these! And that you did a more rigorous testing with 8 bolts this time. I've always found the variability to be too large for only 4 bolts per oil
Glad I could help!
Love these tests! 👍👍
Thank you!
Liquid wrench is good but what about aerokroil and pb blaster?
Thank you. I tested both of those in a previous episode.
Andrei, he already tested them. These 3 were the best of all the penetrating oils by a long ways. Sadly I used to think kroil was good stuff until the video project farm did showing it really didn’t perform well at all!
Drew Stephen According to the 2019 tests and improvements kroil has made to their product, “Kano Kroil” is a top penetrating fluid.
judging by the wear scar, seafoam looks like it might be a contender for an oil replacement test
Seafoam did resist the heat and pressure tests. Seafoam may not be viscos enough for a stock oil pump. So a small engine test in a four stroke motorcycle. Would be required, or due to its high lubrication capacity. Work as a two stroke engine oil. But then again, seafoam resists burning in high temperatures.
Totally awesome test series!
Thank you
Terrific info. Thanks
Who doesn't look forward to next time? :)
Thank you very much!!
@@ProjectFarm You're welcome!
What about acetone and automatic transmission fluid I hear it works great!
You are right! I tested that in a previous video and it did very well.
@@ProjectFarm hey man i love your videos. I've always wondered though, how often do you have a manufacturer email you asking to do a sponsored video? I know you dont do any sponsored videos so I was curious how often you turn it down. Thanks!
He tested them in a previous video.
Thanks, Project Farm, for your excellent video regarding the best penetrating oil(s) on the market specifically Seafoam's Deep Creep vs. Gibbs vs. Liquid Wrench! Based on Deep Creep's ability to handle the most heat while still being relatively safe from catching on fire I would guess that Deep Creep would be a much safer choice in lubricating heat shield & manifold bolts regarding rust protection?
I really appreciate your dedication and methodical approach!
Thank you
