muriatic acid
not for small stuff more like axes hammers etc nothing to small or with fine details
after its scoured of rust (leave it long enough it will eat it to the metal
soak it in a heavy baking soda water mix then rinse
dry oil or wax coat it

EDDE, did you know that geniuses have more white matter in their brains than do other people? Einstein had massive amounts of white matter in his brain.

It's the white matter that promotes better spatial capacity and higher cognitive skills.

Think of it this way; Your grey matter is akin to a battery. The wires or connectors that make the battery work are the white matters, without them the brain wouldn't work at all, and with gold or copper connectors or wires the brain would work a lot better than if the wires were made out of lead or aluminum or steel. Gold and copper are better conductors of electricity as is white matter, a better conductivity of the same (electrical impulses charging or "exciting" chemical substances in the brain).

Thought you might be interested..

Muriatic Acid is the same as Hydrochloric Acid
