Try wire wool with wd40 (oil) spray. They must be getting damp in the garage so you could leave them wrapped in an oily rag and make sure they are dry when you put them away. Water will only make matters worse!2003 Infinity g35 coupe,Auto trans is locked in neutral, How do I reset or fix?

soak them for half a day in petrol or kerosene.....then take em out and rub with sand paper....they'll become as good as new..cheerzGet a bucket and fill it with playbox sand. Pour new, clean engine oil into the sand. After you have used your tools, push them into the sand/oil mixture. You may even need to scrub them again, then use the sand/oil mixture. This will work with most hand and garden tools.
Buy stainless steel, vanadium of similar metal tools and always clean each tool after using it.
This would be a waste of time. I would just leave them as is. Rust does NOT take anything away from the function of the tool. If you clean them today, by the end of the week, they will be rusted again.I am a tradesman, and I know what I am talking about.

Go to a hardware or auto parts store and buy some Naval Jelly. PUT ON GLOVES before applying (use a $0.50 brush at the hardware store). It works very quickly, very well, and neutralizes in water. When you are done, lightly oil your tools. Some people will put a small bucket of lightly oiled prewashed sand in their garage and stick tools in that to apply a small amount of oil and keep them protected.info;on dpfe sensor on2001 ford focus?

Alexander—You DO know that it is water or moisture (even moisture in the air) that causes oxidation (rust) on iron-based tools, right?
Water and detergent can usually remove dirt and some stain, but the residue will allow further rusting.
You can remove the rust with some NAVEL JELLY, but the tools will already be etched with the rust pits.
To arrest further rusting, and to prevent rust from occurring on new tools, keep them SLIGHTLY oily. Wipe them down with a bit of oil, or spray them with something like WD-40 and leave a very slight film on the tools., particularly when they will be stored for prolonged periods. Then wipe them down before use to prevent slippage. Then oil them again before storage again.
Happy Motoring

I think you should be OK with the WD-40 idea, but if it's deeper than that will get, try Naval Jelly. It's a type of acid that's sold in a white bottle...I think I got it at the Home Depot. It's thicker, like a liquidy gel, and is hot pink in color. I used that to clean out some pitted chrome I had, and it worked wonders with a bit of elbow grease...didn't damage anything either.
Also, I have a socket set that I keep a rag sprayed with WD-40 in...I keep it right in the middle, opened up wide and I've never had a problem with my tools. They're Craftsman.
