I have never seen it around for sale. I am not very impressed with pb blaster and there are several videos of tests to back me up. I am very impressed with pb blaster marketing .

Quick back story, I found a 12 inch crescent wrench in the ground, rusty and of course would not move. Soaked it in used engine oil for a week or more, no change. A friend of mine gave me a bottle of L-640 and I sprayed the crescent wrench and came back 10 minutes later and it started moving a little.
5 minutes later it operated as it should. I have used it on several different things and it worked very well.
It takes about 02 days to wash the smell of off your skin. Your results may vary.

I had a truck with a very hard to use choke cable. I sprayed it with several different things no improvement . I was some were and they had some pennzoil penetrating spray cheap on close out. First and last time i ever saw it. I sprayed the cable with it went to work, pulled it out and pushed it back in crap it broke i thought thats how free it was after that.

I've never really seen the point in using penetrating oil. 99.9% of the time I (and the customer) don't have 2 weeks to let it actually seep into rusty threads. It helps on exposed threads but it's not doing SFA to help release threads that are rusted together. Not during a 30 minute lunch break anyways. I've had far more success with using heat.

My son in law tells me Kroil is what they use at the chemical plant and they think it's magic. Never used it. I have mixed 50/50 acetone and ATF with good results.
I was going to mention that, too. Kroil and Big Ed’s red are my favorites. These chemical concoctions may just be a placebo in some situations, but they seem effective in some cases.

Kroil smells like cancer. Nasty stuff.

Crane Operator,, I do not sell this.
I was messing with Digger Doug about the question how does it work lit on fire??
I have been told Kroil is the best penetrating oil with L-640 being next in line.
Does not take 02 weeks to work in my experience.
Was trying to tell people about my good experience with it and maybe they can contact the company for a free sample to make their own determination.

Depending on where you buy wd40 or pb is around $10 a can and the pb barley makes half a can before the nozzle gives up
