Does Water work better than Penetrating Oil for Rusty Bolts? Let's find out!
Рет қаралды 672,161
5 жыл бұрынDoes water work better than penetrating oil for removing rusty nuts and bolts? Also, can water or penetrating oil climb a vertical surface and creep into a rusty nut or bolt? I've had quite a few viewers recommend water over using penetrating oil for removing frozen nuts and bolts. What about diesel? In this video, water, diesel, 3-in-1 oil, Gibbs, Free All, and Mouse Milk compete to see which product is best using 3 separate tests. The Project Farm channel is not sponsored by any of the manufacturers of the products tested. I purchased all of the products tested in this video. Hope you enjoy the video and hope you provide comments on future video ideas! Thanks for all who recommended this test. 100% of the videos on this channel are viewer recommended ideas.

Something you should try as an electrician I found this works very well for pliers such as Klein pliers and needle nose that are machine pressed rust and become stiff we run them under cold water in the sink as we work them out then take a paper towel and wipe the rust that will come out out of the press points then once it’s all done and dry and loose Then we coded with a lubricant for long lasting but so far just using lubricant does not pull the rest out enough

I'd like to see you test out different rechargeable shop flashlights like streamlight, Milwaukee and some others. I'm a diesel Technician and most people in my shop use streamlights but I've had issues with poor quality batteries only lasting up to 6 months before being crap. I also do a lot of electrical work and the light from a streamlight tends to white out small wires and markings. Mymilwaukee light though made it through an entire deployment with me without issues and while is rated the same lumens, because it uses a softer light it still illuminates the same without causing the glare that the streamlight does. It also seems more robust as well, able to handle typical shop chemicals, drops, etc better.

Since you work with oil so much, I’d like to see what cleans it up the best (Dawn, Purple Power, Laundry detergent , etc). And the fact that I spilled motor oil all over my SUV cargo area has nothing to do with it!😧 PS. I ended up throwing the crappy carpet liner out and bought a rubber liner. Some of my toolbags got soaked, though. What I did was soak them overnight in a mixture of Tide Plus Ultra Stain Release, Dawn and Purple Power. Took 3-4 scrubbings to get them back in shape. Watch out for Purple Power cause it has sodium hydroxide in it - which I think is lye. Prob would damage a cotton bag. I also did a stupid thing by putting the liner in the washing machine. My advice is DONT DO THAT!

Dear Project Farm, Please don't change, never sell out. I've seen so many youtubers start out like you--honest, objective, curious, always improving, all about the content/tests, etc. Then companies start sending them free stuff and suddenly every product is "amazing." Their videos start feeling more like infomercials than reviews. (Linus tech tips, demo ranch, and Shawn Woods/Mousetrap Monday to name a few.) Your integrity is why we love your channel so much. Please don't sell out and become all about the money. You're one of the greatest channels on youtube, we can't lose you.

@@benedykt123313 -- Let me clarify. You're right that Linus doesn't hide his sponsorships. I'm not saying he's been intentionally dishonest. My problem is that he's too soft on mediocre products when they're sponsored. If he thinks "it's poorly executed and I expect better, I would never buy it" then he says "it's not perfect, but it's pretty cool." Meanwhile he has NO problem ripping on Apple products all day long. I've also seen him give conflicting opinions in (almost) back-to-back videos. You can tell that he's holding back trying not to offend the people who send him free stuff. I get why he does it (he doesn't want to get blacklisted), but that means I can't completely trust his reviews. Compare that to project farm. If a product is mediocre, doesn't live up to its marketing hype, or doesn't justify its pricetage, then PF says "I'm surprised and disappointed in this product. I thought it would have done better given how expensive it is. It underperformed other products that cost half as much. Buy those instead." I don't have to read between the lines or be skeptical. I know PF is telling us exactly what he thinks.

This makes some sense here, I know if you add some dishwashing liquid to water while watering your plants, it does make a real difference. I have to say though, in all my years of fighting rusted nuts and bolts, NEVER have I heard H2o as a penetrant. I've recently been using a 50/50 mix of transmission fluid and Acetone which seems to work fairly well. Have you or anyone else tried that FREEZE stuff that comes in an aerosol can? GM has that nylon garbage holding the u - joints in place as opposed to the c - type clips. I'm wondering if I were to use this method if I could just BUST or Shatter the nylon as opposed to using a torch. Thoughts anyone?

Great video as always. I had some input for the penetrating fluid testing. Many times I can break a bolt free, but use penetrating fluid to assist in spinning the nut off. If the entire stud is rusty, threading the nut off the rest of the way can be the hardest part. It also increases the likelyhood that the stud will snap, as your continually stressing it. Penetrating fluid can assist in spinning a stubborn nut off. It would be interesting for you to come up with a way to measure how well different fluids assist the nut in spinning off.

Living in the rust belt this kind of testing is a gold mine. Thanks again. I want to say, years ago I was in the Volkswagen/ Audi training center and the teacher used a mixture of brake fluid and water. I found myself trying it when I didn't have a spray can of some penetrant handy and seemed to work well. Or maybe coincidence. Just thought I'd share that with you. Of course the almighty "fire wrench "beats all. Thanks again for the oil shoot outs as well.

Fascinating test. I did not expect the results from the practical test, but then again - I think your original plan is the right way. Any experienced mechanic would (or at least should) make sure to resupply the penetrant over a period of time. Your vertical creep test clearly shows why, as there is a constant supply from the cups. Once again, awesome work!
