My subject engine had been abandoned to decay for over 30 yrs.
I soaked it for days with some seriously expensive products

Probably works very well on a key that has been previously serviced but a complete fail on a properly fused together assembly

I've since used that spanner many times for lots of jobs and great value from Amazon. The drift I've only found on eBay
