It's pretty amazing stuff, alright.  It resurrected a good old ratchet of mine that the insides had rusted up.  Worked like new and saved me a lot of $.

I worked some rust reaper into the throttle cable housing on my brush saw. It was beginning to go in and out hard, causing hand fatigue. Loosened right up. :)

We used it today to loosen up a pto shaft on the big mower. Great stuff!  8)

I use it on my guide bearings on the shaper, there sealed bearings and without  RR I would be replacing them at a rate of two every four to six months, I have only replaced two in the last year and a half, that little bottle of RR has paid for itself five times over.

Sounds like some good stuff.  I do not think that I have ever seen it, though.  Where do y'all get it at and how much is it?

I'm going to be using it on my planer motor bearings as well. Of course the last one lasted 13 years, but just the same, preventative maintenance.  ;)

I was out there with a big ash wrench and a 3# hammer when Patty came out and said want me to get the RR? Oh no honey I'm enjoying working on my colorful language and turning my fingernails purple! :D

Poured it on and 5 minutes later it freed up to turn by hand.

LOL  Is that the guy version of "doing your nails", Norm?  ;D

Stephen, it's not often I am super impressed by a product but RR is the best 'rust eater' I've ever used.  It has saved 2 or 3 items, including the aforementioned ratchet, from the garbage can.

That is cool.  I haven;t been doing a lot of work lately, but I will be sure to get some sometime, probably one of those combo packs.

I've had too many great results to not be impressed. As well, several others that have tried it from antique guns in long-term storage, to removing rusted nuts and bolts from an old 45 yr old lawn tractor stored too many years outside. They swear it is the best they've tried yet.

But expect there are applications or expectations that are not impressive. Have yet to find 'em.  :)

Pete you need to elaborate on the applications you've used it. Otherwise, your leaving yourself wide open to skepticism.  ;)

 I was tapping some bolts today and had run out of cutting oil, RR was used and it did just fine.  :)
