I thought I would let you know how satisfied I am with your product. I have been working on a project of interest in the shop and was amazed on how well the PB Blaster penetrant worked.
First, let me explain the project. I am restoring a GE Turbosupercharger for a Republic P-47 Thunderbolt "Dottie Mae" from WWII. This particular aircraft was recovered for restoration by a group out west,
http://www.alliedfighters.com. It was the last P-47 to go down during WWII and sat in 210 feet of water for 60 years.
I used your product to assist in dismantling the Turbo and was amazed on how well it worked. With a small application of PB Blaster almost all the fasteners came apart without heat or having to break them off. Some of the specialized fasters I will be able to reuse adding to the complete and authentic restoration of this component.
I just wanted to let you know your product does work well! Attached are a couple pictures to give you an idea of what I am dealing with. (click images to enlarge)

Guys at PB Blaster -
I just wanted to tell you guys that PB Blaster is awesome! I was getting my jet ski ready to use this season after sitting all winter and when I went to start it, the engine wouldn't turn over! I pulled the spark plugs out and sure enough they were rusty on the bottom... some how water found its way into the engine and corroded the cylinder walls and pistons, so I went out and bought a can of PB Blaster and sprayed it in the spark plug holes and after a short time and a few bumps with the starter it broke loose and turned over... then when I put the spark plugs back in it started right up! I always heard your product is good, but I had no idea it was that good.... Thanks, now I'll be on the water today!

This picture is of a fuel filter off a Michigan car that was 20 years old, and family owned since new.
Look closely at the inlet and you can see rust all the way around the inlet.
I followed directions, spraying and tapping. Over a 3 day period without any attempt of trying to loosen it until the 3rd day...It came off like it wasn't even rusted.
Thanks for such a great product and I will be trying other b'laster products.

About 30 years ago we moved onto a farm that was over 150 years old. Cleaning things up you will find things popping out of the dirt and driveways. One day I found a 3/8” drive universal joint. It looked like a solid chunk of rock. Not wanting to throw anything out, I put it in a vise and hit it with a medium hand sledge. Not a chance.
On the bench was a can of blaster penetrating oil. Why not try, nothing ventured nothing gained.
I filled the cap of the can half way with blaster. Dropped in the joint and put it up on the shelf.
About 2 or 3 weeks later I ran across it. Put it in the vise, hit it with the same hand sledge. IT MOVED.
A couple of taps later and some working by hand. It was once again a usable tool.
Blaster has been the FIRST CHOICE TO FREE THINGS UP EVER SINCE.

Dear PB guys, I'm a mechanic that has been using your product for 20 years. I also have an interest in good design and I just wanted to let you know that I've always loved the design of your can. The hand drawn artwork recalls the days when people were craftsmen and companies made real products. Thanks for keeping the look of your packaging. I will continue to use it with pride.

I wanted to take a moment and write to say thank you for making such excellent products.
I just finished restoring a 22 year old Honda ATV and have recently begun my next project, a 39 year old Honda motorcycle.
I can't begin to count the number of cans of PB Blaster and Citrus Degreaser I went through on the ATV. The cycle has been sitting for years in someone's shed and I anticipate using a half dozen cans of Blaster before the project is complete.
You folks have saved me many hours of misery and more than a few busted knuckles along the way.
Thanks again,
Regards,

I've been having a intermittent problem with tight steering on my 2002 Toyota Camry. I purchased this vehicle back in Sept of 2009 so it was still under the 6 month, 6000 mile warranty. In the past week or so the problem became much more frequent. The dealer looked at the car today and told me the steering column needed to be replaced at a cost of $812.00 and was NOT covered under the warranty. The u-joint in the column was bound up. I'm an industrial mechanic for a medical products manufacturer. I've used your PB Blaster penetrating catalyst on numerous 'sticky' problems I've encountered over the years and it's always worked well and really helped me out. So I stopped at the local Wal-Mart on the way home and bought a can of Blaster. I sprayed it on the joint before I left and by time I left the parking lot the steering was starting to free up. Now it's completely free stop to stop.
I'm not one to write testimonials like this very often. However, I had to write to you to tell you how well your product worked and to thank you. For a four dollar investment, I've saved over $800.00! There truly is nothing like PB Blaster penetrating catalyst .

I wanted to include a brief letter about your product PB Blaster. A friend in the automotive recycling industry introduced me to this product. Up until now, as an uniformed “female” consumer, I always used WD40 for anything needed to loosen up nuts, etc. Well, WD40 doesn’t hold a candle to your PB Blaster in an aerosol can. In fact, I tried WD40 against your PB Blaster and WD40 lost every time. My friend and I had to disassemble restaurant equipment for recycling.
With my cans of PB, I was armed well enough to loosen old rusted bolts, which would have been impossible without it. I am truly a convert to the extent that anywhere I go, I make certain I have a can or (2) in the trunk of my cars and in the cupboards of my garage storage. When I was purchasing this product at the Albany NAPA store, I told all the women in the store how great this product is. Perhaps they will take some home and try it.
Anyway, I thought you might get a kick out of gaining a new customer.

I went to vocational school then a two year trade scool for Auto Mechanics back in the late 1960s and early 1970s. In those days PB Blaster was not available.
I started using Liquid Wrench, which hardly worked at all. Later I used CRC rust penetrant and then WD-40 which did work a little better. About 5 years ago a friend in the Auto business recommended PB Blaster Penetrating Catalyst. I can hardly believe how much more quickly and completely PB Blaster will free even extreamly rusted mechanical fasteners. Of course I now use only PB Blaster for automotive work and in my new retirement hobby of restoring antique tools.
I am able to disasseble antique tools with the assistance of PB Blaster that could not otherwise be rebuilt. Thank you so much for this very superior product, and at a very reasonable price.

I want to take the time to thank you and your company for sponsoring the Blaster Cavalcade of Stars at Norwalk Raceway Park. A racer friend of mine gave me a ticket and I attended this past weekend. What an incredible even! I have been to the "Big Show," the NHRA National at Norwalk, and I have to ay your event was almost as well attended and in many ways even more exciting!
Your interest and sponsorship of this program makes going to the races affordable for those of us who cannot always squeeze out the money or time for the big races like the Nationals. Your program was fast paced, very competitive and just plain fun to watch!
Thank you, again, for all you do in this area. I'm already looking forward to the race in 2011. Hopefully I can bring a couple of friends along to enjoy it, too.
p.s. :
I use, and love, the PB Blaster, too! It is a blessing for us "shade-tree", "knuckle-busting" mechanics! -

We use PB to take the large rusts and bolts off of coke oven doors. It's the only thing that works, it saves us from burning these nuts and bolts off the door -

We have replaced all our other penetrants with 16-PB. We use it as a penetrant, lubricant and rust preventor.

This PB Penetrating Catalyst is like nothing else I've ever used. Around the shop, yard, house, everywhere and on anything I've attempted so far, it works WELL! -

I really enjoy your PB Penetrating catalyst; I've found nothing that will touch it. I am restoring a Divco milk truck and used a case already. Keep up the great work! -

It is the best penetrant I've ever seen. -

Any time I have to remove a rusted nut or bolt, I just spray it with PB Blaster. I've been using it for 17 years, I'll never use anything else! -

Spending 32 weekends a year on the road while, maintaining 4 race trucks is a hand full. Recently, a frozen $10.00 cable almost cost me a big payday but your penetrating catalyst was the right tool. Thanks for the excellent return for the small investment! -

This product is one of the best for loosening nuts and bolts I have ever used. I am working on a 1946 CJ2A Jeep some of the nuts and bolts have been on for more than fifty years. "B'laster" sure does the job! -

I am in the process of restoring a 1927 REO. I have removed parts that are press fitted together and badly rusted. In the past I have tried various penetrating fluids, "Liquid Wrench" and I still had to sperate the parts with a hydraulic press. With PB Blaster I spray it on wait a couple of minutes, tap the part once with a hammer and I am able to separate the parts with my fingers! Thanks for making my restoration easier. Keep up the good work! -

Recently I purchased a 1946 Farmall B tractor, which I am restoring. The previous owner, actually drilled and tapped one of the broken off bolts instead of removing it. My friend told me to try your PB Penetrating Catalyst. After two applications and a little tapping, the bolts came out of the bull gear housing even the drilled and tapped one! Your product is by far the best on the market. My restoration of this tractor will be a lot easier thanks to PB Blaster! -
