My absolute favorite penetrating lube with some caveats.

Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2013

Verified Purchase

PB Blaster is an excellent penetrating oil and lubricant for almost any mechanical need that doesn't involve open flame or extremely high temperatures. It should also be used in a well-ventilated area. It is derived from naphtha which is created during the initial refining of crude oil so it is a hydrocarbon, like gasoline, natural gas, etc. and should be treated with similar respect and caution. If you read the Material safety data sheet (MSDS), you will find warnings about potential for respiratory and skin complications and even brain damage from prolonged exposure. Hey, it's a petroleum based solvent, what do you expect?
Used properly, I think it's the best overall solvent/lubricant available, certainly more effective as a penetrating oil and long term lube than WD-40 and Tri-Flow, in my opinion ( stress "my OPINION").

Any solvent, oil, lubricant, aerosol that is petroleum based should be used with caution. Water is a solvent too and it can be dangerous if you hold your head in a bucket full of it for a prolonged period of time!

I use it on hinges, locks, window cranks, gun parts, faucet handles, anything that squeaks and is made of metal. I also spray it on my rotary push mower blades after each use to keep the blades sharp and healthy. I spray it on garden hose couplings, scissors, squeaky wheels and even my nose hair trimmer. If it wasn't unhealthy to digest, I would spray some on my cat to stop his constant meowing when I'm trying to take a nap. When used indoors, I make sure the room is well ventilated and have a fan going or a window open if possible.

You don't need much! A LITTLE spray will be plenty on most projects if given time to penetrate.

Since like substances tend to emulsify each other, it can be used to clean heavier oils and I like to use it to clean carbon deposits off of firearms; it's a lot safer than carbon tetrachloride and I think it's almost as effective. Again, MY OPINION.

One last warning: If you are blind - I am totally blind - take care not to store it in the kitchen as the can is similar enough to PAM food spray that I actually once sprayed PAM on a door hinge before my son decided to tell dad what he was doing. As of yet, to the best of my knowledge, I have not used PB Blaster while scrambling eggs. I don't have any sense of smell either so even if you're as blind as I am, you should normally be able to smell the difference between PAM and PB Blaster. And before I get comments: yes I know that I could just put a simple raised label on the can to identify it, but that would make things too easy and I like the daily challenge, it keeps me alert.

So while the product is good and the single price can is good

Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2017

Verified Purchase

I use this stuff to loosen bolts and to loosen old dried up grease. I can't understand Amazon's pricing though. If you buy one can, the price is $3.62. If you buy a two pack, the price is over $12. So while the product is good and the single price can is good, I'm still at a loss. There are a bunch of other penetrating oils on the market and this one is probably no better or worse than the next. If you've got something to store it it in, mix 1 part acetone and one part ATF. This makes a good penetrant. I use this stuff just out of convenience. It has a unique smell. You'll notice it when you try it.

It works...My auto mechanic ordered cases of this stuff and initially gave me a can. It came in handy when trying to remove the blade from my riding mower which was rusted/frozen onto the deck.

It's like an insurance and very affordable to have on hand just in case.

Excellent Penetrating Oil

Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2013

Verified Purchase

I was needing to remove some seemingly impossible bolts from under the car. I had read about the PB and decided to give it a try. WOW. It has, by far, been the best penetrating oil I have ever tried. I sprayed this on the bolts and just let them set for 24 hours. Sprayed again a couple of hours before I started to work on it again. Did they come out like hot butter...NO !, but I was able to get them to budge. Then as the directions say I wrenched the bolt back in and then out and back and forth and I was able to get them out, where I could not even get them to budge before the spray.

Now, when it says Blaster on the can, they mean BLASTER. I would recommend wearing eye protection while using this to avoid ricochet back into the eyes, especially if on your back and working over your head.

It would have been nice to have a simple stray like comes with many spray cans. It does have a very potent smell. I would work outside or in a well ventilated area.

I think this is an excellent product to have around for anyone working on vehicles or odd jobs around the house.

YOU NEED THIS!!!

Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2020

Verified Purchase

I was stranded on a used motorcycle in Florida about 10 years ago. It had begun to rain so hard I was forced off the freeway. At a roadside rest area, I waited for the rain to subside so I could leave. Got back on the bike and put it into first gear and it would hardly roll. Front brakes had seized! Called a tow truck and when he arrived he was clearly unprepared to tow a motorcycle. In the meantime, I called my brother (who owns a repair shop in Idaho) and talked to him about it. He said that if I could get my hands on some PB Blaster I might be able to free up the brake pistons. I asked to tow driver if he'd ever heard of it and he said "sure, got some right here in the truck!". Well, I bought that can from him for $5 and it was half full. I was able to repair the brakes in the parking lot using PB Blaster and they stayed fixed. Brought the can home to Idaho and 10 years later it ran out. So, I'm getting another can and I'll never be without this product again. It has un-seized many a rusty bolt, and is great as a cable lubricant as well. Much better than WD-40.

Its All In The Straw

Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2022

Verified Purchase

I've used PB Blaster for many years to remove oxygen sensors, catalytic converters and any other bolts that are on the exhaust. This iteration of the product is the best yet and I dont think they can make it any better!

The angles and durability of the included straw cannot be beat! I was able to spray the bolts on a catalytic converter without even lifting up the car. It shoots upside down, sideways and you can angle it wherever you need to. It's also very durable unlike the old school style where you have the red straw that you will always lose. Also you don't have to worry about it accidentally spraying due to loosing or pressing down on the cap.

The price from Amazon also cannot be beat. For the size, it's cheaper than the old school ones you find in the auto stores.

I had a tablesaw nut locked on the arbour and tried every type of penetrating fluid, wd40, etc, heat, muscle, you name it and thought I would have to replace the entire arbour assembly. First attempt using the blaster didn't work but after I shook the can and thoroughly soaked the assembly, it popped off with very little effort. This is an incredible product - two thumbs up.

Universalwaffe gegen Rost

Reviewed in Germany on April 21, 2020

Verified Purchase

Nicht "auf Rost", sondern "gegen Rost". Rost stoppt das Mittel nicht sicher, da würde ich Owatrol vorziehen.

Was aber faszinierend ist: Blanke Metallteile wie z.B. Schrauben im Motorraum, am Fahrwerk eines Autos bleiben für Monate rostfrei. Verträgt sich mit Gummi!

Einsatz deshalb: Bei den Oldtimern regelmäßig die offenen Schrauben und Leitungen aus Zink versorgen. Hauchdünner Auftrag reicht völlig. Kurzer Sprühstoß entweder direkt drauf oder auf einen Lappen und Bauteil abreiben. Schützt für die ganze Saison im Motorraum und für die halbe unterm Auto. Alle Verbindung bleiben blank und lassen sich leicht lösen.

Halter des Auspuffs, Clipse der Leitungen, Blechklammern der Zierteile uswusw. Einfach kurz ansprühen und Ruhe ist. Sehr wenig hilft sehr viel.

Bei entwässerungslöchern gebe ich gelegentlich einen Spühstoß hinein, damit sich eine nicht bewitterte Schutzschicht bildet. Blechüberlappungen (Kotflügelkanten im Motorraum, Nummernschildaussparungen usw.) werden einmal jährlich konserviert und sehen tadellos aus.

Da ein etwas längeres feines Sprührohr fehlt und ein Sprühstoß oft schon zu viel ist, gibt's nur vier Sterne. Ich habe ein feines Röhrchen von Ballistol in den Spühkopf gesteckt, das hilft beim Zielen auf versteckte Schellenschrauben.

Riecht etwa streng petrochemisch, verfliegt aber schnell.

I used this on a bunch of suspension and frame bolts that I was adding braces to and it worked like a charm! Cut through rust, grime, etc. It works quick ands penetrates deep.
The only thing I could possibly complain about is the smell. It's rather 'fragrant' but it wasn't overpowering.
