Rust is the main enemy of all  DIY tools  . Whether it is for home use or on larger jobs, it is always a good idea to keep your nomadic tools well maintained to prevent corrosion and rust damage. We are going to show you some tips in this article.

newspaper sheets:

Newspaper is sometimes enough to remove small rust spots from your equipment. To do this, take a few sheets of newspaper that you no longer read. Roll it into a ball and then soak it in white vinegar. Use it to clean your tools by vigorously rubbing the rusty parts.

White vinegar:

White vinegar is very effective at removing rust that is clogging up metal tools, screws, or nuts. To do this, pour enough white vinegar into a basin and immerse your tools in it. Leave it overnight and then rinse your tools one by one with clear water before drying them outdoors.

WD -40 Multifunctional Product  :

The WD -40 multifunction product can be used  in two different ways.

• Either spray your tools individually, planning for 10-minute breaks each, before brushing them gently to remove residue.
• Either dip your tools directly into a tray filled with WD-40 multipurpose product to remove even the toughest rust stains. Thanks to the applicator of the product, you will be able to reach even the most inaccessible corners of your tools. You’ll also get high precision with the dual mode spray that allows you to spray each tool with a single gesture.

Sometimes even the toughest rust spots aren’t left behind after this process. In this case, you will need to sand the metal with a wire brush on a screwdriver or file. Feel free to apply a top coat of WD-40 Multifunctional to get the best results and prevent corrosion risks.

Coca Cola:

The more, the better, you will be able to combine business with pleasure. In fact, rust spots also disappear under the influence of a few drops of  Coca-Cola  . A miracle happens when you pour a little of this brew on the rusty part of your gadget. Spread the liquid well over the entire piece using the soft side of a kitchen sponge, then gently scrub the rough side.

Onion:

An unacknowledged grandmother’s trick, but onions are also a miracle cure against rust. Cut in half and sprinkle the surface with powdered sugar. Take your tools one by one and rub the rusty part of the onion vigorously.
