On the weekend I was working on a mates car and it started to rain, My sockets got a little bit wet and now rust spots are forming, Even on one's I havn't used before. So what's the best way to clean up slightly rusty sockets / tools? |

I am just about to clean up some extra tools that are down in the shed, they are just accumulated stuff hardly used and rusty, I have been meaning to try that CLR stuff. I will go now and get some and post the results. |

if they're really rusty soak them over night in diesel. (crc/wd40/k9P would work ok too, but let soak) |

EDIT: Another thought, if they are really bad just hit them with a wire brush too. |
