hi all...newbie needing ID's
« on: August 14, 2014, 04:54:41 PM »
Hi all,
    I got a toolbox with a bunch of wrenches... Hoping someone can ID some of them.... Most are almost rusted to the point of ruin... Go one that looks like a Ford plow wrench but is just too gone to even make out markings... I been soaking them in Lime-Away and that works great on some, but again some are just almost wasting away... Any help with cleaning and caring and displaying would be awesome!!! Thanks!

 If they were mine I'd give them a day or two in a vinegar bath. Then a dip in some baking soda and water and then a rinse and drying. I'd then buff them lightly with a Nylox wheel and see which ones were worth the trouble.
