Glad I Found Out About KROIL Penetrating Oil

Have you guys heard of Kroil Penetrating Oil?
The steering column on this roller is designed to slide all the way to the right or left side of the machine.
After spraying the bar it’s slides on with Kroil, there’s a huge difference on how easy it is to slide.
I had never heard of Kroil until a Cat mobile mechanic came out to the job to fix my skid steer and he was using it- he told me it’s the best penetrating oil you can get.
I wanted to change the wheels on this trailer, so I sprayed the lug nuts with Kroil to let them soak.
A couple hours later I backed the trailer into my garage to switch them out.
These lug nuts came off relatively easy with my quarter inch impact.
A friend of mine had a set of used rims and tires that are the exact same as the ones on my trailer and offered to give them to me, and I was glad to have them.
Kroil’s been around since 1939, they say it can penetrate into the smallest spaces.
It has an interesting smell- reminds me of cherry flavored medicine. ‪@hausplans‬
