Liquid Wrench *with Teflon* is my favorite.

It's no better at breaking free then PB Blaster, Kroil, Break Free, or a number of other very good penetrating oils. Where it beats them hands down is once I've broken the fastener free.

Many times with things like Kroil or PB you end up jammed because of the rust particles in the threads. The Liquid Wrench *with Teflon* lubricates and seems to float the rust well. Rarely do I end up with damaged threads, or have to use force, once the fastener is broken free.

My favorite tool for breaking free a rusty or frozen fastener is a hammer. A series of sharp raps will tend to break up the corrosion or rust and release the fastener. This is especially good on steel bolts or studs in an aluminum housing.
