Pretty pricey solvent.

Certainly is popular seller at the ACE Hardware store where I work. Cases fly out the door during our annual Sales Fair event. I keep a can handy as well.

Pretty good for the money

Kroil's an outstanding penetrant. Discovered it when I was shooting competitively, works great for loosening copper or lead barrel fouling. Smells pretty neat too for a solvent. Only drawback I have with it is availability; it's not commonly stocked anywhere I can get to conveniently these days.
Kroil is available at my Menards. Not cheap, but my go to and I work on stuff like this.
