I have a load of old tools that my grandad gave me but they are all very old and quite rusty. Is there any way i could get them looking like new? would prefer to do it myself so can anyone recommend anything that will strip it down and then something that would be good as paint/ finish.

hope this makes sense!

Ta muchly

 

Could try soaking them in vinegar. Either leave them as bare metal after & spray some wd40 over them or get a coating kit from somewhere like frosts.

 

thats cool thank you for that!

 

I have found some old tools my Grandad gave me and i have the same prob some i used and are ok but others are still in one of his old tool boxes and are rusty.

Will have to go buy some vinegar and give them a soaking
