I have a box of old tools... wrenches, screw drivers, sockets, socket
wrench handels, etc.

It is all quite rusty.

What is the best way to clean these tools up and get all the rust off?

thanks for any help - Will



If you have a pressure washer, you might want to start out with it. [See
the recent thread on this. G]

Before beginning other methods, soak the metal parts in Brake Cleaner -
this will get off a lot of the old grease (if any) and make the OTHER
treatment(s) more effective.

As others have said, Electrolysis is the easy way and there have been
recent threads, here, with full descriptions, formulations, and
instructions.

BTW, don't be too surprised if chrome plating comes off in sheets - once
started, rust can form UNDER it...
