Cleaning Tools

Recommended Posts

Rich_p

Ages ago I got caught out by a massive downpour while outside working on the car.

 

Some of my older tools got a bit damp. I've had a clear out today and am keeping some of them (impact sockets etc) but they have a coating, not of proper rust but more like a brown powder.

 

Can anyone recommend the best way of cleaning these up? Is there something i can leave them soaking in?

 

Thanks

Great website, everything you ever need to know about tools an make you jealous about fancy garages. There is a topic somewhere on cleaning up tools as I recently had a look for it, cant remember what it said about 'rusty' tools though.

Thanks I'll have a nose through.

 

I could just bin them but it's always handy to have spares.

 

I don't think I'll look at the fancy garage section, I'll just get the hump as my tools are wedged into a cupboard in my flat ;)

If it's a light coating, vinegar should get it off.
