This man still replies to comments after 2 years... that’s awesome 👍

I work at a hardware store that sells a lot of the products you test. I’ve actually been referring unsure customers to your videos to help them decide what to get. Absolutely love your channel!

[boowiebear]

Yikes, Liquid Wrench is now $12 a can. PB Blaster is $6. Your video drove their sales and price I bet! 😂

I enjoy watching your videos for numerous reasons. I'm a mechanic & have been almost all my life & there are many methods to removing frozen or rusted hardware.
( 1 ) PB Blaster is JUNK & the product often runs out of Aresol leaving over a 1/4 remaining in the can.
RESOLVE: I use a AC puncture handle & empty the remainder into a spray bottle.
( 2 ) WD40 is JUNK- Over time if you do a test, you'll find that the surface of the stuck / rusted whatever will get much worse, especially if left out in the elements.
RESOLVE: Don't waste your money!
( 3 ) Gasoila - Works great but only if you have time & soak the problem repeatedly, that's with most other products.
( 4 ) FreeAll - I've used it a few times but it's VERY expensive & honestly doesn't provide a value at all.
( 5 ) Liquid Wrench - In my opinion & the millions of time I've used it is MUCH BETTER than all the other brands. As for the cost, it depends on where you can get it.
I've found with most that if you have time & consistantly keep soaking it that almost any product is better than none. The conditions & temperatures & exposure all play a part in the demise as well.
EXCELLENT CONTENT in your channel & like your content providing answers to those whom wish to learn & gain knowledge! THAN YOU SIR 🙂

This guy is either a manufacturer's worst enemy or best friend.

Nice job!

You forgot a big piece. The control step where you put a wrench on an untreated nut, apply full strength, slip, skin knuckles, and then proceed to mumble choice profanity.

Only 4 years after the posting and I watch this video, but really entertaining. I just wanted to share that a product I've been using for years and love over anything else I can think of is called Tri-Flow. It comes in a black and orange can and when you shake it there's a mixing ball inside the can similar to what you'd hear when shaking a spray paint can. Thanks for all the hard work you do Project Farm!

Man I really appreciate you putting in the time and effort to do these videos. Very helpful!

[michaelrichardson]

I hope you never get tired of doing these tests. As someone with both limited knowledge and funds. It's easy to be lured to buy the "best" (Most expensive) . I'll take function over form every time. Your channel helps.

[light-master]

3 years later and your video is still helping people find products that actually work. Thanks!

[nickbailey]

I've watched this video a few times over the years, but can never remember which to get. I came back morning to make I linked from your video. Keep up the awesome work.

[michaelalberson]

Awesome presentation and review of these products you are the absolute best at these types of products reviews.
You show no actual bias and only tell the outcome of your tests and they are done super professionally.
And your English is spoken clearly and understandable and you only use words that the average layman can understand.
No big fancy words that are not understandable.
Thank you for your awesome presentations and hard work.

Keep in mind he's testing these products on short-term surface rust. It's going to be a different story on years old, very rusty fasteners you'd find under a vehicle. The fact is sometimes a torch is the only solution and that's why I always have one on hand.

[nickwitkowski]

Highly underrated YouTube channel. Thank you for your content and time the time taken to make them.

[carpenter]

Here I was using Liquid Wrench all this time because it was cheap, and was considering the 50/50 mix... Nice to see LW placed so well, I'll be sticking with it (wasn't thrilled about playing with acetone). Thanks for what you do, subscribed!

[absolutmauser]

I just keep coming back to different Project Farm videos lately! thank you for all the hard work!

"Results: Liquid Wrench came out on top, following by ATF/Acetone, Royal Purple, WD-40, PB Blaster, and AeroKroil."
Thank you very much for typing that in the description!

[paulpardee]

It's really satisfying to see how consistent you got that rust. It's almost beautiful!

[bassamabdelnabi]

You are totally awesome . I can’t find something better to say other than “may God reward you and guide your heart”
