My S.I.L. works at a chemical plant in Yazoo City Mississippi. They use a lubricant there caller kroil. The only place that I know of that it can be bought is direct from the factory which is KANO labs located in TN. I ordered some and believe it is twice as good as WD40. Check out the web site http://www.kanolabs.com. I believe that if you try it you too will be h

Lots of things are better than WD-40… For instance, PB Blaster for freeing stuck bolts.

I’ve heard GREAT things about Kroil, but have never been able to buy some here in CT. How much was it where you buy it?

If you work on cars or trucks you will find this indispensable – I am an aircraft mechanic for a large airline and have had access to this stuff for nearly 20 years. A couple of years ago I was changing a head gasket on my daughters car and was unable to break the exhaust manifold bolts and the manifold to pipe connection. tried for days, then sprayed kroil on them twice a day for two days and then removed the nuts and bolts with a standard ratchet and socket. GOOD STUFF!!!

Your comment says twice as good as WD-40…. as Barry says, lots of things (understatement) are – for some reason WD is a name everywhere but try Ti-Flo added to the list of better than…

Check the above web site. If you buy a can, they will give you a free can of your choice. Even though it is a little pricey the free can makes up for it.

I , in another life, serviced office machines (when they were still machines). I agree with Steve2 that Triflo is the best oil there is. For most things, not all, WD 40 is the worst. A friend of mine said that WD worked well on adding machines, which it did for a short time and it would set up like varnish, I had a terrible tiime.

WD-40 is not a lubricant it was made to dissipate water, and it is good for that.

“WD-40 is not a lubricant it was made to dissipate water, and it is good for that.”

I agree, but did you ever read the can?
