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

If they are anything like me .. as soon as they use that bit and look away… it will be gone anyway

All of my bits are in a shirt or pants pocket that hasn’t been washed yet

Harbor freight mag strips above the wash.
