Return to article: How to Remove Rust From Tools
on 1/4/2006 I keep a 5 gallon bucket in my tool shed full of play sand. To this, I add 1 quart of used motor oil. When I am done using the tools, I simply push the blade into the bucket and work it a few times. This not only cleans the dirt and grime from the blade, it also serves the purpose of oiling without a dripping mess. Don't use too much oil, 1 quart in a 5 gallon bucket works just fine. This keeps the sand from sticking to the blade. Afterward, I wipe the blade with an old rag, my tools stay clean, sharp, and rust-free.
