I am wearing a new camel hair jacket so I do not want to go out into the
alley and roll around in the garbage over this, but in my experience, Kroil
is not a perceptibly better penetrating oil than PB blaster or even LPS-1.
For perhaps a dozen years, I was periodically receiving literature from Kano
Labs extolling the prowess of Kroil.  None of the industrial suppliers with
whom I deal ever had the stuff so, I was reluctant to buy an unknown quantity
regardless of their claims.  I guess their Chinese water torture method of
advertising finally bore fruit and about 2 months ago I ordered a gallon.  To
date, I have yet to experience the form of miraculous unmating of stuck
mechanical components which is claimed by Kano Labs.

My advise to anyone thinking of sending away for some Kroil: keep the blue
flame wrench on pilot and use the shipping cost to buy whatever is on the
shelf at your local industrial supply house.
