AeroKroil rust penetrate
 

Anyone use this? I heard it's amazing but it's 15+ a spray can

Re: AeroKroil rust penetrate
 

Now I see it on the brattons site 19+ never mind....
Is their a standard Kroil and then an Aerokroil??

We usually use PB at 4.00 a can for regular shop use

I use it and like it. It's about $18 a can where I am, so I use it very sparingly. I push the spray nozzle just enough to get a couple drops right on the threads. After all if any spray goes other places, it does no good, other than give a good aroma.

I also like GIBBS, which I first heard about 30 years ago, but don't know where to buy it now. I used to buy it at threshing shows.

Kroil is the best there is. I bought a gallon about 10 years ago for $50. I still have over half left. You only need a couple of drops.

YES! Buy two cans so you have a back up when can #1 goes dry. Last memorable use was taking a flywheel off a keyed shaft of a 1928 Coldwell lawn mower. Last guy beat the thing on, you could see the hammer marks. Soaked it over a two week period, while tapping tapered wedges, oil finally creped in and the flywheel came off. Friends have freed up seized engines with the stuff. WELL WORTH THE COST. Bob

Thanks guys..
I guess what through me off was AERO. Guess all the Kroil says aero

Have used Aerokroil for years. Works much better & faster on rusted parts than anything else I've tried - including WD40.

I keep a couple cans on the shelf - its a nice protectant for natural cast aluminum finishes too

You can purchase here http://www.gibbsbrandlubricant.com/

The kroil/aerokroil name confused me as well. Maybe they were marketing it to the aviation guys under a similar name?

Buy the non-aerosol too
Use the aerosol for where you need reach or upward.
Liquid seems to go further
It's really good stuff
I don't think I even have WD-40 anymore in the shop although it has alternative uses
Aerokroil is aerosol
Kroil is non-aerosol

Thanks now that makes sense. Lol

Re: AeroKroil rust penetrate
 

It's amazing stuff ! I used it when I disassembled my roadster that had been sitting in semi weatherproof shed for almost 30 years and I couldn't believe how easy it made things come apart. It's pricey but I wouldn't use anything else.

I used Kroil extensively when restoring my 8N. That tractor never saw the inside of a barn it's entire life. Kroil made the process much easier and I think it's better than PB Blaster. At least it smells better ��

Re: AeroKroil rust penetrate
 

worth every penny.. they have a deal at times where you can get two spray cans of it shipped for about 20-25 $ It is my go to stuff, light years ahead of most the others. I use it when something that should move doesn't, spray it on and walk away for awhile, sometimes a day or two. In all the years I've used it it has never failed.

I agree. I have used both and Kroil is best.

Tacoma screw sells a knock off. Several more ounces and cheaper. Seems to work as well.

Re: AeroKroil rust penetrate
 

Hi I have Kroil witch i like but i also like a homemade one that is also very good and has been tested against wd 40 and many others and was miles ahead of all of them. I wish i could remember where i saw the results, but i guess you will have to take my word for it. It is very simple to make, it is a mix of atf oil and acetone in a 1 to 1 mix, it has to be shaken good before use because it seperates when left sitting, also very cheap. I saw this on a machinest sight somewhere. Give it a try and see Denis

Walter Ezzell 03-28-2016 07:44 PM

Re: AeroKroil rust penetrate
 

Absolutely the best that I have ever used. I would pay more if I had to. Restored a 39 Ford Pickup using it (especially floor board screws) never had one that I could not get out after treating with the kroil. You will not regret. Fantastic on old hit and miss engines that have set outside for years. I used the regular liquid and the aero for spraying into spots that are very hard to reach. I have tried some of their other products and they all work just as they advertise.

AeroKroil is the same stuff, just in an aerosol can.

I have a 35 year old can of GM heat riser valve lube that works great and a little goes a long way hence the age of my supply. Today it is known as GM Fluid 88862628 Rust Penetrant and Inhibitor. Just another option.

Bob Wright 03-29-2016 02:49 PM

Re: AeroKroil rust penetrate
 

Bought a gallon about 40 years ago,still have 1/2 left. Kroil really works the best (also have tried the special home made blends)and the most of the others as well.

Don't forget WD40's original use was as a water dispersant. I avoid using it as a lubricant or rust buster as it leaves a trace of silicone-like matter when it evaporates. This will tear up bearings and bushings.

aerokroil is so good it will leak out of it's own can.(LOL)

Re: AeroKroil rust penetrate
 

Based on internet reviews alone I decided to buy 2 bottles of 8oz Kroil Oil. However I live 10000 km away in Denmark/Europe and you cannot buy that stuff in Europe. Thus, I imported the two small bottles and paid huge amounts for shipping and import tax.

This is truly the best stuff. Nobody knows it here. People just spray huge amounts of WD40 everywhere (or similar copies of WD40) and when I tell them about the wonders of Kroil Oil they just look at me like a nut case.

Here in Europe, at least northern Europe, WD40 has became such an established brand that people dont say "rust penetrating oil" anymore, but just "WD40" and everybody knows what they mean. People just spray WD40 or similar products everywhere and still snap bolts/nuts all the time. They have no clue.

But I don't like the smell of Kroil Oil at all. It smells very synthetic and chemical and tends to hang around for a long time.

I use a plastic pipette with my non aerosol Kroil oil and manage to control the amount used very precisely - also upwards to some degrees. I think if you are using a pipette to make precision applications a 8 oz bottle will serious last a lifetime.

I buy AeroKroil by the case. Buy any quantity you want from http://kanolabs.com/

It is great stuff. My gallon can is called Kano Kroil and the aerosal stuff is called AeroKroil. Same great product, only different packaging.

Re: AeroKroil rust penetrate
 

kroil is amazing stuff, we used it at work all the time. smell you get used to haha, one smell i am used to but still dont like is hot liquid wrench...

and yea it always seems to creep out of its own can especially if its in a warm place.

Re: AeroKroil rust penetrate
 

I have used the Acetone and ATF mix for many years. Keep it in about a 20 oz. glass jar and shake it up and put into an old finger pump oil can when I need it. Can anyone tell me that they know the Kroil is even better than my mix? If so I will get a can.

I agree with your chart in the pdf if I do not use kroil I use the liquid wrench spray as it works almost as good as the kroil.

Re: AeroKroil rust penetrate
 

I agree with those using 50/50 mix of ATF and Acetone. Works way better than any commercial product. You do have to shake it up each time you use it as it will separate. Cost is very low.

As I mentioned that's what we use in the shop... The guys would waste the Kroil, it would need to be put under lock and key as I would have to distribute the drops when needed

mkmskm 03-31-2016 03:35 PM

Re: AeroKroil rust penetrate
 

I think it was Skinned Knuckles magazine that did a test a few years back on identically rusted and seized items and they ranked as best to worst based on force needed to break loose:

50/50 ATF/acetone
Kroil
PB Blaster - and it was a distant 3rd
WD 40

I've always used Kroil with great success and the spray trea reaches places you can't with the ATF/acetone
