      If you bust the nut, you’ll ruin the threads. It’s Kroil you’re after if you need a penetrant, then you can get as many nuts off as you want. Could be more fun if you ruin it a couple times though…

        How do you feel about blaster? I had it recommended to me and some old spark plugs I hit it with came right out.

      I can’t see why not, that is exactly the type of humor their target demo uses

        Nope not that, they claim it’s a lubricant.

        It’s not a lubricant, it’s a penetrating fluid. Yeah ok it can act as a lubricant for a short while but you’d use it on parts that should be lubricated that have seized together to get them moving again so you can apply lubricant.

        So they’d get done for false advertising.

          1/4 to 1/3 of WD-40 is a petroleum base oil, and they make claims about its lubricating properties on their website and marketing material today.

            Yeah but it’s not a proper lubricant and you shouldn’t use it as one. It’s a swiss-army knife: great in a pinch for a number of things but you wouldn’t want it to replace your whole tool box.

          While it’s true that people can’t take a joke anymore, it’s also true that back when an ad like this might have appeared, these kinds of jokes were considered vulgar and wouldn’t be in print, at least not hawking a product from a reputable company.
