Does anyone has any suggestion on how to get rust off of garden tools? Any ideas would be appreciated!

Thanks, Karin

fine grade steele wool and light weight oil, oil tools down and polish with steele wool, keep a thin film on tools during off season, and during on season , make sure if they get wet, to dry them off.

I keep a 5 gal bucket of sand with old motor oil in it. It is just inside my shop door. When I bring in a hoe or shovel, I shove it down in the sand. The sand cleans the blade and the oil keeps it from rusting. Works for me.
