John,

I've had good luck dumping the tools into a drum of turface fines (but dry
sand would work great) and then rolling it to and fro for a few minutes. The
tools come out spotless.

Subject: [IBC] Removing Tool Rust?


:/

I just found a tub of tools I thought I had put in the garage
before winter
came.

Any good soaks for getting the rust outta them creases and seams where
grinders and sandpaper don't reach?

I used a half vinegar - half water tub to clean up a cast iron
pot that had
spent ten years in a garage, but that still took hours of wire
brushing and
these tools are just too small for that.
