Anytips on cleaning them up? throw them on a wire wheel, anything to protect them afterwards... if you saw my other thread, scored a couple pair of Channel Locks, all work fine just look rough, wouldn't mind cleaning them up a bit though.

put them in a bucket of coke... rinse the next day and apply wd-40 and exercise them...

the cleaner you get them, the worse and faster they'll rust/get messed up next time. I'd soak them in some pennetrant (there are actually specific ones for protecting tools), get them working smoothly and consider the finish a "patina."

clean them of course but dont leave em bare. gotta protect them with something.

Bead blasting cabinet will do an excellent job on removing all rust.

Spray them down with WD40 and work them. Then use a old rag to wipe off and realize they are tools. You could proably buy a pack for $25. at HD.

once you clean em spray with silicon lube and leave it on as a protectant and it shouldnt attract dirt.
