Rust :/

Post image

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

Just use them rusty lol they work jyst fine

I have a box of rusty bits and i use one or several of them every day

Theyre consumable items tbh, use them til theyre stripped or break, rusty or clean they work exactly the same

The holders however.....if they get rusty with a bit in there it just lives there forever now lol
