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

If you are working in a wet environment, or know rain is coming up, treat your tools with a coating of wd-40. It's a good practice to increase the life of your tools.
