Hi Folks, Happy New Year to all! My cool as all getout, 77 year old , Goldwing riding, next door neighbor brought this stuff to my attention. He said he ordered a tube, stating he has wasted 10 bux on far dummer stuff, in the past. I know nothing about it, but with as much, as us Guzzisti have to mess with old, strip prone fasteners, it may be of some value.I found it interesting. Check it out.

What is the groups opinion? snake oil, or not..

I haven't used this specifically but I have used valve grinding compound in the same fashion when I have stripped allen heads before.  I can see it working.  The clip is good... just about sold me

  My brother used to used a product that contained diamond dust but it wasn't a gel, it was a dust.  You dipped the screw driver in it a sort of dusty film was on the bit.  When applied to the screw, it sort of imbedded in both the screw and the bit making it much less likely to slip.
 Because of it's awesome abrasive quality you had to be very careful to not use it where it could contaminate moving parts like valve stems or cylinders, or bearings.  It is probably not a snake oil product but be careful with it.

Very interesting stuff. Might be nice to have a bottle in the garage, just in case.

Interesting, Jim, It did mention something about diamond shaped particles, or something like that.
