    Default Removing rust from tools

    Motherfvcker. Well, about a couple months ago I left some tools lying out. My mother was nice enough to pick them up for me the next day while I was at work. I had assumed that she just dropped them into one of my toolboxes. Well, today, I went to grab my wash bucket to clean up the cars and discover sever sockets, an extension and some other little crap laying in about 4" of water in the was bucket. ****e. Anyone know a good way to get the rust off of these things, preferably chemically? I don't have a work bench with a clamp to be able to take a dremel to them or anything like that.

    Lay them on a towel and soak all the tools in WD-40 then wrap them up for a while...should help some.

    Transmission fluid or PB blaster works too.

    K series 626. That's right. It's got a K in it.

    Wonderful. I have a bottle of ATF out there, but for the life of me, I couldn't remember if it was tranny or brake fluid that would eat rust. Reps for good answers from everyone.

    PB Blaster rocks, just a foaming version of WD-40...the only reason I didn't recommend it is because the foaming action isn't needed in this case (ie: upside down on rusty nuts or bolts) and PB usually costs more. I'm cheap like that!

    PB Blaster is the ****! I expected to see an infomerical on this stuff its that good.

    Try it, it should work just fine. I think you can get it at NAPA.

    Hope this helps.

    WD-40, spray it on and soak. the use wire brush...after you get as much rust off...use breakcleaner to spay excess residue. repeat process.
    I won't advertise because I'm not paying to

    a couple soaks in trans fluid + a couple passes with a wire wheel on a drill got them all taken care of. Thanks for the tips guys.
