I got a small can of the liquid Kroil as a sample once.  Shortly thereafter
I was working on a particularly stubborn bolt on an engine.  I sprayed some
WD40 on it, and still couldn't make it budge. Then I dripped some Kroil onto
it and tapped it with a hammer, tried again, and it quite literally turned
right off as though it were already slightly loose (which is wasn't prior to
applying the Kroil).  Okay, maybe its time had just come, and spraying more
WD40 on it would have accomplished the same thing. But I have to admit that
in that instance the Kroil sure impressed me!
