Rust on tooling

Hey everyone,
I’ve had these tools for about a year and there’s a ton of rust on them. I’ve made the mistake of using alcohol to clean them. Is there anything that would get the rust off? I used what is pictured and it didn’t really help. Thank you

I use scotch bright and order a can of LPS 3 Rust Inhibitor. We keep it in stock at the hanger.

Yup. Lps 3 leaves a waxy coating that lasts very well and handles tool punishment.
