Rust — the enemy of tools all around the world. The substance can destroy the effectiveness of tools and cause them to break entirely. Losing tools to rust can be costly and potentially dangerous if a rusty tool breaks while in use. Instead of discarding rusty tools, you can save money by learning how to remove rust properly and prevent it from forming in the first place. In addition to preventing rust, proper cleaning and storage can keep your tools working longer and reduce the costs of replacing them.
