Default Rusty Bolts, Nuts and Penetrating Oil

I''m curious. What do you think works the best?

I've used WD 40, Liquid Wrench ans sewing machine oil. Someone turned me on to some stuff called Blaster, that seems to work the fastest of what I've found.

When I lived out West, a lot of ranchers used raw crude oil to loosen nuts and bolts.

What do you use?

A cut-off wheel in a die grinder for when PB Blaster and the blue wrench doesn't work.

I use this:




CRC Freeze-Off Super Penetrant loosens rusted and corroded nuts, bolts, couplings, fittings, hinges, locks & frozen components. Freeze-Off is a unique formula that immediately drops the temperature of the area in direct contact with the spray. The freezing effect cracks rusted surfaces, allowing Freeze-Off to reach deeper & work more effectively than other penetrants. Lubricating film prevents corrosion and displaces water.

The thing that works best for me is not living in a climate where road salt is used, or on the coast where salt water spray is a issue. The Rust belt in the US destroys fasteners, bushings and body panels.
