0 -> Could break fluid possibly work better than penetrating fluid when it comes to loosening rusty bolts today
5.82 -> We're gonna find out once and for all whether or not this is gonna work the best because I've had a lot of people asked
11.42 -> me to test against these other brands of penetrating fluids now in a previous video we tested
16.46 -> Acetone ATF mix against a lot of different penetrating fluids what we found was quite interesting and that is that acetone
22.3 -> ATF actually came in second place just behind liquid winch which took the top spot
27.25 -> So let's get the testing underway and find out once and for all just how good brake fluid does when it comes to removing
32.559 -> Rusty bolts just like in the previous video. I'll be using a half inch wheel lug studs and nuts
37.469 -> I've only torqued in to 80 foot-pounds this time though because my torque adaptor only goes up to 147 foot-pounds
43.5 -> I do have a larger torque adapter if we need it,
45.719 -> But I don't like to change test devices in the middle of a test.
48.45 -> I really like it when you guys provide comments and constructive feedback. It helps me improve the science.
53.079 -> So based on the recommendations you guys provided I'll be applying each
56.62 -> penetrating fluid with a dripper instead of using the spray can. Also I've added a washer.
61.05 -> So, please keep the recommendations coming because it does help me.
64.28 -> Do penetrating fluids actually work?
65.519 -> I drilled in tap a one-inch piece of plexiglass and then I oxide eyes the bolts.
70.3 -> Additionally, I added a hot blue perimeter at the top. Obviously metal-on-metal causes twice the rust as metal on plastic.
76.86 -> However, this will provide some evidence as to whether or not penetrating fluids do any good
80.77 -> So I've got a total of twenty eight bolts work with. The first four include our control group
85.77 -> So I'm gonna go ahead and loosen those and see how much torque it takes.
111.84 -> Do penetrating fluids actually creep in the rusted parts?
114.36 -> The nut was threaded onto the ball three-quarters of the way by hand then the nut and bolt were oxidized
119.67 -> So what we'll do is apply the penetrating fluid that wins the competition
122.82 -> to the top of this nut so we can see if it can creep all the way through the rust and out the bottom.
128.12 -> So first up we'll be testing DOT 3 brake fluid.
138.96 -> So CRC Knock'er Loose loosens frozen metal parts, dissolves rust and corrosion, lubricates and prevents rust.
151.15 -> SeaFoam Deep Creep "powers through rust and varnish".
157.91 -> So Fluid Film "penetrates to free up heavily seized parts".
171.83 -> So BG In-Force "has an ion activated formula that permeates metal better than standard formula penetrating oils".
183.44 -> In a previous video we tested WD-40. This time we're testing the "Specialist" which is specifically designed as a rust release penetrant spray.
195.26 -> So the brake fluid seems to have remained on the the washer did not spread beyond the washer it also did not evaporate.
202.07 -> Okay, this is CRC Knock'er Loose. What's interesting is the penetrating fluid seems like it's mostly dried up.
208.5 -> There's a little bit toward the base of the nut,
211.07 -> as well as it looks like it started to move away from the washer just a little bit.
215.92 -> Okay, so SeaFoam Deep Creep seems like it is very similar to the the CRC Knock'er Loose
221.87 -> However, it doesn't seem to have spread away from the washer as much, it still seems like there's a little bit more
227.84 -> content remaining on the threads as well as the nut.
231.36 -> Okay. This is Fluid Film. It's very clear.
233.98 -> It's much different the rest of them. It looks like it's slimed in this entire set of nuts and bolts.
239.47 -> So BG In-Force looks like it's floated all the way down the nut and on down into the washer.
244.239 -> It also hasn't evaporated as quickly as some of the other products.
250.659 -> Okay, one of the comments that people made last time is that it's not realistic to apply a penetrating fluid three times over three hours
257.44 -> What they wanted me to test was applying a penetrating fluid giving it some time to work and then try to loosen the bolts
263.59 -> So what we're going to do is come back in an hour
266.34 -> And we run a test on each one of these to see how much torque it takes for these to come loose
270.639 -> Well, we're allowing the penetrating fluids to go to work on the rusty nuts and bolts
274.05 -> We're going to go ahead and apply these products to this setup
297.78 -> As you can see brake fluid actually penetrated and went all the way down to the bottom of the bulb
307.069 -> CRC Kock'er Loose did a great job as well.
309.3 -> It thoroughly penetrated, went all the way down to the bottom of the bolt.
315.379 -> SeaFoam did a great job. There's a lot of SeaFoam that has thoroughly penetrated,
319.329 -> it's actually sitting in a puddle of SeaFoam. You can see it about to drip off. This stuff really seems to work well.
328.669 -> This is Fluid Film. It does not appear to have done much as far as penetrating.
332.479 -> Most of the fluid film seems to remain up top.
340.99 -> As you can see BG In-Force did not fully penetrate and make it all the way to the bottom of the bolt.
345.819 -> There's a lot of penetrating fluid still at the top of the threads that has not worked its way to the bottom.
353.409 -> So does look like BG In-Force did go down to thread some, but not quite as well as some of the other products we've tested.
359.59 -> WD Rust Specialist did a really good job. It has gone all the way down to the bottom of the bolt.
368.439 -> Okay, it's been an hour so I'm gonna begin testing.
474.53 -> What I'm going to do now is remove each one of these nuts to see how much penetration occurred.
513.9 -> Okay guys, slight change of plans.
515.599 -> I was gonna put the top penetrating fluid on this bolt and this nut to see if it could thoroughly penetrate.
521.5 -> After I did the last video, I had a lot of requests to just mix them all together and see if it would work well.
526.26 -> So I decided to do is just take a little bit of each,
528.87 -> dump it into one, stir it up, and then drop it on top of this to see if it made a difference.
534.1 -> Now, I never recommend mixing chemicals because we could experience a chemical reaction.
537.8 -> If that's the case, I'm gonna have to open up the shop door and get the fans running.
548.8 -> So it doesn't appear that the fluid has penetrated anything.
551.62 -> I don't think mixing them all together is such a great idea after all.
555.3 -> In fact, it's stuck on there. This isn't moving, and there's no fluid that's gone past the bottom of the nut.
564.06 -> What I'm gonna do is soak up the penetrating fluid and then remove the nut and see how far down it made it
580.15 -> It's all wet right now,
581.31 -> but I think that's because the fluid that was in there, as I was turning the ball it started to flow downward.
586.39 -> But it took 56.4 foot-pounds of torque to break this loose.
590.56 -> And again, this wasn't torqued. It was a put on by hand.
602.92 -> So based upon the plexiglass test, as well as how far the penetrating fluids traveled down the threads,
608.22 -> the result seemed to make sense:
609.5 -> With SeaFoam Deep Creep coming out on top
611.26 -> followed by CRC Knock'er Loose coming in second.
614.48 -> Now regarding the other products and compared to the last test, there just wasn't a lot of time for these products to do their job.
620.88 -> As you remembered last video, it was a three-hour test for three applications.
624.58 -> But viewers said it did not make sense to do a three-hour test, because in the real world,
629.64 -> no one waits three hours for penetrating fluid to do its job, which is why I tested differently this time
635.2 -> Please let me know if you'd like to see a showdown between
637.33 -> SeaFoam and Liquid Wrench and I can put together a video on that.
640.1 -> Or if you'd like me to test other penetrating fluids.
642.9 -> Thanks so much for watching the video and I look forward to seeing you next time.
