Our
Write-up
Like you, I've used
many different types of penetrating lubricants in the
past. WD40, CRC, Let-Go, et.al. They all seemed to
perform pretty similarly. Sometimes you still had
to resort to the hot wrench to get those stubborn bolts
loose. One day this gentleman came into the shop I
was working at and gave us a free can of ZEP 45.
He told us that it works so well that we'd be giving him
a call before the can was out. Well, I'm a
skeptic. I don't believe in the alien autopsy or
any of those weight loss contraptions advertised on TV
in the wee hours of the morning. One day while
trying to remove some rusted lug nuts off of an old car, I
realized that my impact gun alone was not going to do it.
It wouldn't loosen any of the 5 lugs on the wheel I was
working on. I went for the can of the WD40.
Then I remembered about the ZEP 45. I figured I'd
do a comparison. I sprayed 2 lugs with the WD and
3 with the ZEP 45. The WD did help, but my gun had
to struggle for about 6 revolutions for each of the 2
that I sprayed. I then tried the 3 lugs that were
sprayed with the ZEP 45. The gun struggled to
break the nuts loose for about 1 revolution and then the RPMs of the gun sped up and
- zing!!! Well, I was
sold. Never before had a penetrating spray work so
well.
Just recently I was spraying the bed bolts
of my truck. I couldn't reach between the frame
and the fuel tank. I could see the one bolt in
particular. I aimed at it and was able to spray
the culprit from a distance of 3 feet. The stream
actually shoots a healthy distance of 6 feet, and that's
on a 1/2 empty can.
Well, that can that I liberated many years ago is now
nearing it's end. I thought I'd do a search on the
Internet to see where to get the trusty old ZEP. I
could only find it from one company, and they didn't
have any pricing or shopping cart on their site. I
finally ended up at the ZEP Manufacturing website where
I was able to find a local distributor. I gave him a
call and ordered some. The product works so well
that I thought our customers should know about it. So we
now stock it and have it available.
