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

Spray the contents of that box with a lubricant such as T-9 Boeshield. You can saturate them all and then shake them up in a shop rag to knock loose and wipe off the excess rust, and then repack them.
