I have this super old rusty hammer and few other tools with a bit of rust, I'll have to try it, I actually do have a can of brake fluid I can use.

Spraying WD40 on tools before putting them away supposedly helps prevent rust, which makes sense since I think that was actually the original purpose of WD40. My BBQ has badly rusted over winter, I will spray it all with WD40 this year before putting it away. I just have to remember to take a little step back in spring when I go to light it for the first time. :awe:

Use Evaporust. Stuff is liquid gold. I've used it several times on rusty tools and it's amazing.

Wd40 was engineered by a rocket company to keep missiles from rusting. So if it's good enough for that then it's fine for my tools.

My old boss had one. Threw it into the dumpster after about 5 years.

I have one, it's been here for over 10 years so far. If I replace it, i'll get another one.

It's actually sitting in front of the old wood one that collapsed and fell over but the previous owners never bothered to clean up.
