I have a bunch of crescent wrenches, channel locks, vise grips, adjustable wrenches and pliers that are either seized or hard to adjust. I seem to remember someone had a special formula to eat through any rust or corrosion such as what is on these tools. Please repost when possible. Thank you.
 
Pa went overboard to ruin Trout season this year they stocked all the fish for the year before the season and didn't tell anyone when they opened the season so they trashed a billion dollar industry from idiot Wolfs incompetence so I quit Trout fishing forever and will never buy another Pa. fishing license I will fish Ohio from now on as a matter of fact I have a walleye charter next weekend out of Port Clinton Ohio and get to stop at Camp Perry at the shooting range boy would I like to take a couple of rifles with me to shoot up there
 
if your dealing with tool rust issues

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Evapo-Ru...MIyJPXiZ2k6QIVTdbACh080QiCEAQYBCABEgJpevD_BwE

go to walmart and pick up a gallon of evapo-rust
throw in one tool and let it soak over night and see if you like the results,
before doing everything else.
after you let them sit over night, in evapo-rust,
rinse off in hot water and dawn dish washing detergent
dry heat gun,
then spray down in WD 40

Here in south florida, the moisture in the air is a constant problem concerning tool rust issues,
Ive for years just lightly misted the contents of the wrench and socket drawers with WD40 every few weeks

btw is you place a layer of cloth like terry towel or felt in the bottom of the tool chest drawers and theres also chemically treated liners designed to reduce rust forming

spray the tools ocasionally with WD 40 ,
they tend to rust less as the cloth retains and re-spreads the oily protective vapor

Hi Ray,
When the PA Rangers busted me teaching kids how to fish in my own stream, that went too far! Those PA game employees have to commit a felony, be absent without leave for 15 days or commit a misdemeanor involving a minor to be fired from their job with the state. Many of those clowns work two paid positions with the state or their local municipality. I know this because my oldest son’s friend works for the State’s fish hatcheries. They laugh as it’s the easiest job you can have and get $35/hr. With state benefits And work a second job on the local Twp’s road works department for another $29/hr (btw, 30hrs is full time on the PA parks department job - 32.5 hrs per week is full time for the Twp job.
I lost my fight in local court over the fishing on my own property Ticket ($135). After court I heard the judge tell the ranger she made a mistake finding me guilty. I filed an appeal but nothing from the district magistrate can be used in the a higher court.
 
Ps, PA made those rules 11 yrs ago mainly because the Park Rangers were getting jobs as part time cops in nearby towns and writing tickets in record amounts when working for the Twp to gain a full time position as a reward.

Thanks Grumpy! That sounds easy enough. I thought it was something more of a chemical mix like Mystery oil and diesel fuel and maybe something else too - I obviously got things crossed. I can’t yet find the treated toolbox cloths just the desiccant cans some use to take the moisture away.
 
Nothing surprises me any more about this state from our socialist governor comrade Tom Sheep who has his nose so far up the Cuomo boys asses that he follows them like a little puppy dog to the local fish wardens and when I saw how they ruined Trout season and everything else to win an election I just hope some people learned when they go to the voting booth that Tom and his blonde wigged side kick the hesheit or whatever it is or are supposed to be a thing I guess. You know that when Bruce Jenner tried to become a woman at least he attempted to look like one. this country may never recover from what the demonrats have done to try and beat Trump I know Rich I'm rambleing right now and I'm not happy watching them bringing our country to its knees I hope that you are doing better than me right now I think that I'll go out and till my garden now I can't get upset with that LOL Take care Rich
