that's odd. I use it all the time and love it.
same here I use P.B. all the time, I also use Gunk penatrating oil, good stuff if you let it set awhile and it will also knock out wasps in flight from 15' out , But the absolute best is Kroil if you can find it , that is what we use to use on cement plant machinary bolts and nuts.
Great minds think alike there...Z
i think the stuff works pretty well....
did ya shake the can 1st???

Shake the can? Hmm, there was so much writing on the can that I never actually found the instructions. I'll try that next time.
Try Kroil, you will flip. That stuff makes ALL the others look like snake oil.
They also have a line of other products like with Graphite...I just got the new flyer in the mail.

Serious stuff.
I and a slew of folks I know swear by it.
Did you let it soak in?

Most over rated product?

Green Board
any low VOC paint
Gorilla Glue
Most Festool tools
Ipe wood
Trex decking
Toto toilets
Viking stoves
anything Baldwin
Pergo or any other laminate flooring
etc. I could go on and on. (That's just my short list)
PB Blaster is not over-rated. It works were wd-40 will not.
and it smells good.

so where did you get the idea WD works and doesn't make for more problems than it's worth???

GORRILLA GLUE!When it first came out, the slogan was "the strongest glue on earth" or some such nonsense. I used a lot of it for repairs because of the way it expands but I never did like the way it stains skin.
Then I read somewhere that an independent test rated it not as strong as elmers's yellow glue for wood.Interestingly, GG's slogan has been changed to the much more humble "MADE for the toughest jobs on earth". riiiiiight.

Uh, yeah, I was trying to be funny.Those blades are devilish though, not worth their cheaper price. I was using my Hitachi hardi blade just now. It is a good blade. I have one plank with a dryer vent, one conduit, 2 faucets, and 2 pvc furnace pipes in it. Should be smooth sailing when I get that ying yang thing punctured. Getting too hot outside for me now, waiting for the sun to move a tad more to the west.

You must cover a cheeseburger with fried onions, then they will be considered underrated.Actually you could eliminate the cheese and the burger and eat the fried onions on a roll.I'm going to to the kitchen now and try it out.

Apparently you have no In & Outs by you... they will make you believe in the magic of cheeseburgers again.

OK, the votes are in. I'll give PB another shot. Duct tape is close behind.
you expect duct tape to work on ducts or something....

if it moves and not suppose to, duct tape. if it doesnt move and suppose to, wd 40
PB Blaster.
Definitely. I have tried them all - PB Blaster, Kroil, Seafoam, etc. The ONLY one I have found that works to any degree is BreakFree, and it's amazing. It dissolves rust and corrosion and frees up fasteners and corroded metal I thought nothing would.
Dick's carries it, in the gun department. It's a Mil-Spec formulation developed for the military.
OK, Dick carries it, sounds like something I would like to have too. Who's Dicks?If it's better than Kroil, it's gotta be good.
Dick's Sporting Goods
Welcome to the Taunton University of Knowledge FHB Campus at Breaktime. where ... Excellence is its own reward!
Thanks. Wasn't thinking. I have an explorer engine out of the vehicle with a stuck exhaust bolt. That'll be the acid test. Actually I have 2 bolts stuck. Kroil on one, breakfree on the other. I bet it will need the hotwrench to get either one out.
Dick's Sporting Goods...
or just about any other sporting goods store...

Dick's sporting goods - I thought they were a national chain.
The product is "Break-Free CLP". Here is a link:

Yep, we have Dicks here, but I wasn't even thinking about them. I was thinking of an industrial supplier, forgot about the gun lube. Thanks for the links, I'm gonna get some of that stuff. I have yet to find a penetrating oil that lives up to its claims.Walmart carries it too!
Maybe I'll step into one of their stores and see.No, I think I'll go to Gander Mountain or dicks.
Edited 7/4/2009 9:01 am ET by Dam_inspector
Thanks for the links, I picked up 2 small spray cans at Wallyworld today. It smells a LOT better than Kroil. If it works well, I'll search out a larger can.
We are awaiting your report.

The bolts were hopeless, I ended up breaking both off and drilled them out. The breakfree worked great in a lock that I have been putting lockeze in periodically but it would not stay free.

The Wagner hand-held paint sputterer.
The power spitter. The one I had I ended up beating against a telephone pole till it was trashed.
we would work good together.
had echo weed eater,good one but got cranky starting. one day it's hot,i'm in a bad mood,it wouldn't start. i must of beat that thing 15 times against a tree before the motor went flying! man it felt good.
next day when i'm out spending 200 it didn't feel so good.the older i get ,

Actually, I used a Wagner power painter with the tip removed to get the sputter splatter effect for some theatre sets I was painting.
