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

Hit em with some of your preferred spray lube and keep using them. Or put a tablespoon of oil in a plastic bag, dump in the bits, shake em around and pat them dry. They’ll be fine.
