Cleaning process:
Soak the tools in CLR or generic equivalent for 4 hours. Agitate the tools several time to make sure they are fully soaked.
Pull each tool individually. Clean surfaces with wire brush, scotch brite and steel wool. Move tool to bucket of clean water when surface is clean.
When all tools are in clean water, remove them all at once and lay them all on a large towel.
Roll tools in towel to remove as much water as possible. Immediately begin spraying the tools with WD-40 to as remove as much water as possible and prevent flash rusting.
Continue drying tools with compressed air.
Further lubricate/grease any tools that require it.
