    Default Rust Removal Advice

    My daughter rescued these from her garden thinks they have been they some years wondered if I might be able to do something with them. Look like a fine pair of pincers.

    I said I have a solution I can drop them in see how they come up.

    Not that i really need them as I have 3 other pairs.

    By the time yo get the rust off them there won't be enough metal left to be of any use.

    Might make an interesting curio though - withe with or without the rust.
