Has anybody ever used Kroil?... this stuff is suppose to “Creep” into places other lubricants won’t get to... http://www.kanolabs.com

Dale,
That stuff sounds like it breaks loose frozen parts. Is it a good lubricating oil?

John, I can’t really say I’ve ever used their actual lubricating oil, only the Kroil which has some lubricating properties to it... I know that the guys at work that use it regularly think of it as a “Wonder” oil, it works so well.

John, this is from their site... they also have a graphited penetrating oil...

SiliKroil

Silikroil
Loosens and Lubricates
Engineered to loosen frozen metal parts and provide silicone-enhanced lubrication. Kroil's high solvency penetrating oils first penetrate to one-millionth inch spaces to break the bond of rust and to provide lubrication at the first molecular level. This frees the frozen metal part. The dimethyl silicones then provide extra long-lasting lubrication and rust protection. SiliKroil is not only good to loosen frozen metal parts but to supply extra lubrication in infinitely small spaces.
Silikroil is designed for use on frozen bearings, slides, gate valves, hinges, chains etc. The addition of Silicone to Kroil also enhances its water displacement qualities and improves its performance as a cutting oil.

Interesting, but I prefer dry lubes. But this stuff sounds great for freeing up frozen parts.

I was just looking on there John and it does look like they have Dry Lubes as well.
