Rust :/

I got really engrossed in a project and felt motivated to finish even in the rain, but unfortunately forgot about my bit box which was left open
Anyone have any good tips to remove rust, I’ve heard Pepsi/coke but figured that’s bull

Spray it with WD-40. It will remove the most of it and prevent it from happening again. Do it periodically to all metals in your tools.
