I have used that one and it is very good. In my use it actually was able to work better than Liquid Wrench. I use it on 40+ year old plumbing when I live in NJ. I could ot get a pipe apart so I sprayed it on the threads and 10 minutes later I was able to unscrew the pipe. I was astonished. I had thought I was going to need to call in a plumber but that $5 can worked miracles. It is also a good rust remover. I have sprayed some old tools with it and let them soak and much of the rust comes off. I think even Jerry would like this product. Well....maybe. ;-)

    Never used it on a wet distributor cap but it's a great penetrant
    and lubricant.
    I believe the mfg is Kano Laboratories.

        Wonderful dissertation on WD-40!
        Long live Tri-Flo; the best friend a wrench ever had.

    That's popular with the garage door opener installers, but I'm not
holding my breath until that product is proven.
    I did buy some but have found that specialized lubricants are
    better in most cases, that is lubricants designed for specific
    applications as recommended by the manufacturer of the product.

    That doesn't mean I don't use Tri-Flo or the other competitors for
    non-critical applications.  For example I use some stuff with
    Teflon in it for squeaky door hinges, but don't think I would pick
    it for use in one of my cameras, or in a watch, for example.

    Would you?
