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.

Thanks!

I'd just spray them heavily with WD40 and let time do the rest. If you actually
for some odd reason want your garden tools absolutely spotless, pull a google
search on "rust removal" and "electrolysis." I use the process to restore
100+ year old woodworking tools to like-new condition.
