what is the best penetrating stuff to unsieze locked of stif nuts and bolts? so they dont get stripped or break and i dont kill myself trying to get em off?

 

pb blaster is good stuff and also kroils oil I believe but its kinda expensive, also the torch is your friend I like to use the torch to heat the offending bolt and bolt hole area with the torch if possible and then quench it with some pb , works very well

 

wd40 is one of my best friends...having air tools with a 1/2 air gun is tha ****!!! breaks 99.9% of my siezed bolts off!!!! BTW, use 6 point sockets, NOT 12 point sockets and the risk of stripping bolts is greatly reduced.

What bolts are you refering to?? Idont like using a torch casue the bolt gets hot and fitigues and can possible break, unless you heat them then let them cool. 1/2 drive ingersall rand always works good use 6 point impact sockets if available if not use the chrome sockets buy wear eye protection. ive had a couple of socket crack and shoot small peices of metal scrap in the air. safety first!!!!
