Wow, fantastic! Yes, it does make chemical sense that an increase in the temperature of your evapo-rust would speed up its chemical reaction. I've used walnut media in a vibratory tumbler for brass cartridge cases. I was actually unfamiliar with stainless steel media for other metals. Makes perfect sense! Your results are excellent. Thanks for making this video.

Simple process, excellent results. If you check out the link for the stainless, it looks like a lot of reloaders use them to polish. Thanks for watching!

They look great, I am going to look into the tumbler. I have lots of rusty tools that could probably use it.

The media I use is amazing, I put chrome sockets in there with surface rust and they come out looking great! Thanks for watching!

Great...another tool I have to buy (tumbler)... :). Great restoration!

LOL! I love mine but loved it more when I bought the stainless media. I use it for chrome sockets as well, gives them a nice polish. Thanks for watching!

Nicely done. The quality of some of the older steels is really incredible. The corrosion just hangs out on the surface, for the most part. The wobble sockets probably had some of their surface damaged during use, hence the pitting.

Great video, appreciate you sharing your process. I use a UC to cleanup sockets and lots of other tools as well. Still haven't tried the Evaporust in it yet, but will be soon. I've wondered about those HF tumblers, now I know.

@thenkgarage Ай бұрын

Thanks for showing this! I don’t have either of those two machines. That definitely speeds up the time to clean.

@thetoolbandit Ай бұрын

I spend a couple minutes per socket, the machines do the rest. If you're doing a high volume and want a nice finish, I think it is the way to go. I put chrome sockets in the tumbler with surface rust and they come out polished... don't use evaporust for those. If it is really heavy rust then I have no choice but to do the entire process. The right media in the tumbler is key, I have used others and this one seems to be the best. Thanks for watching!

It's amazing what a little effort will do. I've used vinegar to remove rust and it works as well. Depends on how bad they are.

@thetoolbandit Ай бұрын

It does work well, not sure if it works as fast. I will have to try it using the same method. After using both I keep going back to Evaporust. Thanks for watching!

@@thetoolbandit I put some Craftsman flush rivet pliers in some vinegar, and it can be a bit aggressive with the lettering as that wasn't stamped on the later pliers as in years past. I'm going to try the Evaporust next.

@@googleusergp yes, you need to be real careful with the printed/lasered logos, same with Snap-on, Mac, Matco they will all disappear in different solutions.

I use the evaporust in the same ultrasonic cleaner, works good, but have never tried a tumbler, thanks

@thetoolbandit Ай бұрын

It sure seems to work a lot faster in the ultrasonic. They come ot a bit dull, then the tumbler gives them a polish. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the video. Looks like I need a tumbler. Does the stainless steel shot in the tumbler hurt chrome stuff?

@thetoolbandit Ай бұрын

Not at all, many people use it for bullet casing when reloading. I use it for chrome sockets with surface rust, they come out polished.

Very nice. I inherited some corroded tools that include some chromed wrenches. Would the vibratory tumbler be a good way to clean them up and remove the chrome coating where it’s damaged? It’s definitely damaged. Or would the end result be too poor to be worthwhile? They aren’t Snap-On, but I’d like to keep them if they’re salvageable.

@thetoolbandit Ай бұрын

It is it light rust it will clean the rust and not hurt the chrome. It will not remove heavy rust that would be eating away the metal, that would need the rust remover like I showed in the video. Thank you for watching!

@gf2e Ай бұрын

@@thetoolbandit A lot of them have heavy pitting, unfortunately. A few spots where the chrome seemed to be peeling already. Evaporust soaking cleaned up some of the stuff. I tried a surface conditioning disk on my die grinder and that got rid of some of the pitting but that seemed very tedious. Plus, wrenches have so many inside surfaces. So I was thinking a vibratory tumbler like you had might be worth trying. I don’t know whether getting rid of the chrome would yield tools so rust prone and disappointing that it’s not worth doing. Those sockets looked so much better than I would’ve expected! Thanks.

I just got an ultrasonic claner for 20$, only dose 8 minutes at a time, but it does have heat and has been working well I am going to try using an old paper jogger for the tumbler. I still have not gotten that far yet

My old one was a smaller one that went for 8 minutes. I upgraded when that one couldn't keep up. Thanks for watching!

5 percent vinegar works better than any rust remover for a lot less money just have to keep a eye on it.

@thetoolbandit Ай бұрын

I'm not sure it it works better but it works. I have also stripped off chrome with it without intending to do so. They both remove rust. If I was doing a bunch of old wrenches... outside.. I would probably use it. Thanks for watching!
