Do your tools need some upkeeping too? Here is a handy tip on how to remove rust from them. Immerse the metal portion of your rusty tools in a jar of vinegar for approximately seven days. You will likely see flakes of rust falling off and accumulating at the bottom of the jar after three days. Following a week, rinse the tools and scrub off any remaining rust with a textured sponge, steel wool, scouring pad, or a wire brush. Next, sharpen the tools that need sharpening using a file. When you are done, apply some household vegetable oil or discarded motor oil on your tools to make them smoother and resist further rusting. These steps will help save you money in the long-run and help keep your tools in tip-top shape!
