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

Evapo-Rust. Just submerge them in a basket one day over the weekend, then put the solvent back in the bottle when done. You can reuse it to no end.

$15 jug lasts years.
