Apparently, none of the auto parts chains carry it, and their Web site does not list dealers. Is this an online/mail-only product? How about Grainger (I have an account there)? Thanks-

Chris, instead of Kroil get a quart of ATF (trans fluid) and a can of acetone and mix them 50/50. Works better than anything and you may already have one or both ingredients. There were recent posts about this and I have used it more than once.

Kroil comes from Kano Labs. They only sell direct. http://www.kanolabs.com/

Thanks, Gary. My friend Terry lives nearby and has some I can borrow, but I will order some as well.

Chris

It is primarily sold direct to Industrial customers. We had it when I worked in the steel mills. We have it in gallon cans at the airport. You can buy it online at:

http://www.kanolabs.com/

They almost always have a promotional offering for two spray cans or so at a slightly reduced price. The last case I bought is still not gone and that was probably 10 years ago. I gave a few cans of it away to friends.

Go on line or telephone them.

The last time I needed it was this spring to soak a rusted 32 year old motorcycle chain. I soaked if for about a week and all of the links were free. Then I soaked it for another week in 140 wt oil to thoroughly lube it up for long term use again.
