WD-40 really isn't a penatrating oil. It just happens to work sometimes. It is really a Water Dispersant on the 40th try.. Hence WD-40. It does displace water. Not even that good of a lubricant.

Kroil is the best I've ever used, WD-40 is for torching bees. I've had Kroil work when PB woud not. Kroil smells nice and it's easy on your hands too.
I woud bet a guy coud fix a broken marrage and become a better person using Kroil!!!

Never heard of PB Blaster? I'll check it out. Here's a trick. A few of my mechanic friends use plain old tranny fluid. Squirt it on stubborn whatever and let is soak. It has penetrating properties and loosens anything.
