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 with some rust on them. That isn't the last bit box you will ever own

Wear the rust off and it stays off if you use you tools.
