I'm in the middle of restoring a car and stuck bolts are the bane of my existence. A cordless impact wrench is right at the top of my"most wanted" tool list at the moment. Sounds like a plan.

We ask that ourselves. If we can get our hands on a can or two in the shop we will answer these questions and some of our own as well and tell you guys all about it. :D As for the air duster thing, we are getting a great deal of email and tips on this subject. Perhaps we should put together a test to see which products and methods work and which don't? What do you guys think? Jason, as usual, good points. We ask that ourselves.

What do you guys think?

Anyhoo, I checked out the MSDS for this stuff and I can't figure out how it ends up cold since it mostly contains petroleum distillate type stuff. It also doesn't mention anything abou freezing your hand off. Also, if you turn one of those air duster cans upside down and pull the trigger, a stream of extremely cold propellent comes out. I wonder if this could be used to loosen bolts? Doesn’t getting bolts hot generally help loosen them via expansion?

For some reason it penetrates great and lubricates the friction surfaces well. You have to get the surfaces really hot, like Oxy Acetylene torch hot, and that creates the hazard of the wax's vapor lighting on fire. You have to be careful of that. However, using heat and other penetrating oils creates the same hazard in most cases. Also, it makes a mess with the melted wax dripping all over. It really does work, though ... and it's CHEAP. Credit for this goes to a member of the Oldsmobile Enthusiast community. I've tried this at his suggestion, and it really is amazing. Candle wax works great at loosening stuck bolts.

I've always wondered about getting a can of that stuff Janitors use to remove gum for that purpose. I wonder if this is susbtantially the same thing? Might be cheaper... This seems interesting.
