    Default Rusty Tools

    Because of limited space in the house, we kept all of our tools outside in a shed. Most fared well except for the box filled with rusty drill bits, paddle bits & other small tools. They have a good coating of rust on them but not bad enough to toss them. Is there an easy way to clean these up?
    Don't grow up. It's a trap.

    I tune my raw steel tools in used motor oil when they take on a little surface rust.
    Tools that really need cleaned up soak for a few weeks in a half and half used oil/diesel fuel blend, then get the wire brush.
