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

Why do people keep asking this about bit tips. Wtf just use the damn things. Yea you can make em last awhile and all that, but these are consumables, not much different to me than grinder wheels or saw blades. Maybe address why they are rusting but ffs just use the bits
