Hand Tool Restoration Tips<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Whether you have a few ball-pen hammers, cruddy socket wrenches, or some old hatchets, this formula and approach will surely remove a majority of any rust and corrosion that has developed along the blades, handles, and more. To get started, gather your needed supplies for the project. You will need at least 1 gallon of distilled white vinegar, a 2 gallon bucket, and a large piece of plywood, or something similar you can use to cover the bucket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Start:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u2780 Begin by pouring 1 gallon of distilled white vinegar into a large bucket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2781 Next, submerge your rusty and corroded metal hand tools in the vinegar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2782 Next, cover the bucket with a sheet of metal or piece of plywood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2783 Allow the hand tools to soak in the vinegar for at least 4 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2784 Retrieve the hand tools from the bucket and scrub them with No. 1 steel wool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2785 Place the hand tools back in the bucket of vinegar and let them soak overnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2786 Retrieve the hand tools from the bucket and rinse them with clean water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2787 Continue by touching up any heavily-corroded areas with steel wool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2788 If you did not get good results, start the process over again using No. 2, 3, or 4 steel wool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2789 Finish by wiping the hand tools dry!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t Want Your Rust, Old Hand Tools?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you do not have the best of luck with rust and corrosion removal, or you simply don\u2019t want your old, rusty hand tools any longer, you can recycle them at your local scrap metal yard. Most of the time, scrappers pay customers cash on the spot for recyclable metal. Simply bring them your box (or boxes) of old and broken metal tools, and walk away with enough money to go buy yourself something new!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
