Kano Labs, the supplier of Kroil, is listed on my Vendors page under 'Tools':

    Kano Laboratories, Inc.
    1000 South Thompson Lane
    Nashville, TN 37211-2627 

    1-615-833-4101
    1-615-833-5790 fax 

    Kroil (the oil that creeps) is a penetrating lubricant that is
    effective in loosening even the rustiest bolts. It costs about
    US $4 for an 8 ounce bottle, and $6 for the aerosol version.

As always, see
