Update on PB Penetrant/frozen drill chuck
 

Awl--

Goodgawd....

The PB peeple sent me a gal of PB *plus* a metal spray can for
stream/aerosol type spraying; $25 + ups. Was considering the Kroil, but I'd
already spend a bunch of $$ on penetrants.

Soaked the chuck for 3 days; no go.

Put the slipping pipe wrenches on--no go.
Used big-assed channel-locks--no go.

Arc welded a bead on the outside of the chuck, put the pipe wrenches on, no
go.

Put three-foot pipes on sed pipe wrenches, no go.

Acetylene'd the goddamm chuck, nice smoke/firestorm, no go.

Cooled it down somewhat w/ WD 40, re-soaked it while pretty hot in the PB
for a cupla hours

Put pipe wrenches back on.... STILL no go!

Put three foot extensions on pipe wrenches--FINALLY it gave! goodgawd....

The forces were so large that the bigger pipe wrench actually *wore down*
the bead I welded on!

Amazingly, the chuck is "freeing up" as we speak!

The PB is a bit darker than it was. Should I keep this stuff as "used
PB"? Any ideas on the useful lifespan of this type stuff?

Oh yeah, the PB peeple said their stuff was a lubricant as well, like WD 40,
which surprised me.
Any opinions on that?

I'm not really a fan of WD-40--don't really know why. I just found some
*spray 3-in-1*, which I've been looking for for years now. At least 3-in1
seems to *stay*; WD-40 seems to just disappear!

HD carries something called Corrosion Pro, which sort of resembles
motorcycle chain lubricant. I bought a second can, so I think I liked
it--not sure.... ahm so confused....

I've had Kroil work where other stuff including PB won't. Used PB makes
great candle oil for scenting the house with that wonderful aroma.

Just one: WD-40 is not a lubricant, was not designed to be, but
persists in being used as one despite the honest efforts of the company.

See above. 3-in-1 is a owned by WD-40. That aerosol product is the
lubricant everyone expects WD-40 to be, and they can't hardly give it away.

AutoZone has spray cans of lithium grease. It's the greatest
stuff for window channels, hood hinges, door hinges, squeaky
bi/tricycles, etc. SuperLube is another great lube with teflon.
I found it semi-locally at Lowes.

Sequence: WD to free it up, spray lithium to lube it.

Well, reading the gallon label sure does *lead* one to conclude "lubricant",
even tho it does not use the word.

Yeah, I came home *without* spray 3-in-1 oil, as the guy mistakenly took
3-in-1 penetrant for the oil. Looking up the stuff in his books, he could
not find 3-in-1 spray oil, either.
Indeed, WD40 owns 3in1.
Anyone in fact SEE any 3-in-1 spray oil around lately?
