PB Blaster is better than Kroil - but the best is a 50/50 mix of acetone and automatic transmission fluid.

The most seasoned mechanics swear by both, but especially the latter..........

Never used blaster that I can remember. Will pick up a can. Those rusted old bolts and nuts on the ragged old jeeps need all the help they can get.

Especially good and noted for unsticking engines that are frozen/seized after years of sitting.

BTW, I’m a restorer and collector of antique motorcycles and not a bad mechanic myself........

I’ll have to remember the homemade mixture. Now that you mention it, I want to think I’ve heard of using that decades ago. Thank you.

PB vs. Liquid Wrench? Vs. Hot Wrench?
