@Thanos Caar is a dead meme I am a woman and I think in terms of how hot or interesting this guy is, I would go out with this guy. I probably would not go out with the actor you are talking about.
As a 30+ year veteran of the iron/steel industry...I hope you chose a bronze/brass bristle brush for initial cleaning. A common steel wire brush; as well as steel wool can induce ferrides in high alloy steels, causing new corrosion. I once saw a $1000 stainless mixing tank from a photo lab completely ruined when steel wool was used to clean it.
Does your experience and knowledge allow you to suggest where to start in the removal of extensive rust from Spanish American War era swords? These are historical to my family so I would like not to ruin them in my efforts to restore them to some form of luster. Thanks!
Thank you for going through this process and documenting it. You have confirmed what we've long known, which is; Acid eats rust chemically, so when left long enough, deep rust pockets (that are invisible to the naked eye) compromise the integrity of metal.
Over a period of 19 months, the oxygen in the air dissolves in the vinegar solution and continues to attack the metals. Meanwhile, the vinegar continues to remove the rust, which opens the way for new oxidation. The only reason for some of the tools to have survived is that it is a slow process.
@@daredevil3076 The guy I replied to deleted his comment so how do you know what we were talking about? Because I can't even remember what he said. but judging from my comment is was something rude that p*ssed me off. Also my point was soaking over night does the job doesn't need 19 months. But you're welcome anyway.
So just to confirm. Are you saying that leaving the tools in vinegar for that long does not damage the steel? For example, the box wrench that is now a pry bar, is that because the rust was so bad or because of 19mo in vinegar?
Chris Lawrence: Good question! For the "pry bar," I'm guessing that that end of the wrench was submerged in the 1" or so of rusty muck at the bottom of the trash can. Being surrounded by all that gunk probably sped up the oxidation process there. (As far as I know, complete tools could have been dissolved down there. I didn't keep track of what I put into the can at the beginning of the experiment. Wasn't supposed to last this long...) So yeah, the 19-month exposure did damage the metal, but most of that was limited to the surfaces of the tools, like with the open end of the wrench. The pitting in the impact sockets were likely hidden rust pockets, though.
i don t think it dissolveses because that small spring surrvived......and looks too me it dida great job,did some derusting myself with phosphoric acid but it is expensive and fast,this oe is cheap and slow but i love the outcome.
Fe(s) + 2 H2O(l) ⇌ Fe(OH)2(s) + H2(g) Fe(OH)2(s) + 2CH3CO2H(l) ⇌ Fe(CH3CO2H)2(aq) Or something along those lines. What I mean, iron keeps rusting inside the vinegar, in fact it does it even faster now that it has vinegar disolving the "protective" oxide that covers the metal. So yes, vinegar damages the steel, as it oxidates faster inside it.
This is a good question. I did have the container lightly sealed with Press and Seal for most of the time. But toward the end, the plastic didn't seal as well. Perhaps the dissolved iron slowed down the evaporation? If anyone else has a good answer, I'd love to hear it.
well it is simple the vinegar became a saturated solution and that means that the vinegar did not have the capacity to hold more then x amount of rust and in turn could not continue dissolving the rest.
felix eriksson, it's not so much a matter of a saturated solution, rather that the acid in the vinegar was probably neutralised by all that iron oxide. Also that doesn't effect the evaporation time. He covered it.
Literally have no idea why this was recommended to me. or why I'm watching it. but hey ho, i enjoy a little spontaneity as much as the next guy cleaning tools in his garage.

Yup, it's just like bullet time. Very handy when Matrix agents are chasing you. nofilmschool.com/sites/default/files/styles/article_wide/public/neo-matrix_stop-bullets.jpg
Commercial store bought vinegar is a mix of water and vinegar acid. Yes, the acid attacks rust, but it attacks metal too. The best rust removal happens inside the first 2 hours. Anything after that allows the vinegar to begin attacking the metal too. [Actually it attacks the metal instantly, but without a magnifying glass you can''t see that with only a 2 or 3 hour soak.] Leave something in the vinegar overnight and you can be sure it will have tiny pit marks etched into it. Leave it in for months and I am surprised anything survived.
If you suspend the tools in vinegar so they aren't swimming in their own oxides, you should see minimal corrosion, as the acid has affinity for the oxides a lot more than the metal itself. Other acids can be better or worse as far as this affinity goes, oxalic acid for instance is even better than vinegar.
It's used as wood bleach, to remove black stains from water penetration. That might get you in the right aisle to start checking ingredients. Not sure since I buy it online. Oh, it causes cancer, so you know its the good stuff.
I've used vinegar to clean out an old metal fuel tank, worked perfectly. Better than what I had ever thought it would. That fuel tank is still in use today and no issues with rust ever since. Although I did have to replace the small inline fuel filter numerous times until it was totally clean. Just a little bit of first hand experience with something that used to be a "throw away" item if it had rust inside of it! Cheers.
@@NowLedgeOutpost Nope, hard to suggest anything without seeing it, but a shallow dish/tote/tub with vinegar in it and rotate the part in that (gradually) might be the way to go, but again, that is dependent on the actual part itself and your call. It will take much longer that way. Some parts you must use a softer scrubbing brush, on the ones that are chunky steel, you can even bravely attempt a wire brush. But the vinegar WILL eat into the rust, not the steel,
@@AusLanderJack you seem like a reasonable and helping individual. As far as showing goes, give me any of your socials where I could send you the photo of that thing, alright?
The fact that he PROBABLY doesn't intend to use the files doesn't mean it's any less a bad idea to show clear coating them on the Internet. The poor things have enough abuse to deal with as it is, what with everyone storing them all banged up against each other, never carding them, etc.
For light rust, a day in a bucket of apple cider vinegar should do it... for medium rust... about 2 days in vinegar does it for me... maybe up to 4.. for heavy, like a week. If you're leaving anything in for 19 months, it's likely there won't be much left there when you remove it if it was that much rusted. The main key you need to know is, when you remove it, don't wash the item, or blow dry it... water and heat will start rust back immediately. Instead, wipe it with a somewhat clean rag dry, then brush on with a paint brush phosphoric acid and let it sit. Before the phosphoric acid gets super sticky and dries, wipe it off. This will stop any further rust from forming. If you got really tough rust pits that won't come out, alternate between soaking it in apple cidar vinegar and phosphoric acid, back and forth, and scrub it with a wire brush in between... while going back and forth between these you can run the piece under a tap as you scrub the rust loose like it was mud... just as soon as you are done go back into the other chemical for more derusting. If you are short on time and want to derust something as fast as possible chemically, and it's a small part, go straight into phosophoric acid. Great for small parts that can go in a mason jar or big pickle jar. If it's a bigger part, paint it with phosphoric acid with a brush and wrap in plastic, and uncover and keep repainting it periodically to keep it in wet with phosphoric acid. Apple Cider Viengar from Walmart or the grocery store by the gallon is cheapest... followed by white vinegar which doesn't smell so bad. Lemon juice works too and smells nice but is quite expensive.
somehow this video showed up on my suggested videos, very cool accidental experiment. Also really liked the florescent bulb buzz in the final shot, really excellent touch for cinematic effect.
High quality video, quick and to the point commentary, along with stunningly good camera work. All around, this video is one of the most well put together demonstrations I've ever seen on youtube, not even mentioning the amount of "prep" that went into the actual vinegar soak. Props to you m8, great stuff.
Idk why but as soon as I clicked on this vid I felt bad because this guy has 1k subs and deserves way more than what he has.And he probably put around a day or two to make this video so I don't understand why he gets hate. I mean he looks like a nice guy:)
Care must be taken when using vinegar to remove rust from items that are/ were chrome or zinc plated. If left a day or so the vinegar will remove the zinc/ chrome plating. The problem is that there are carcinogenic elements used in both chroming and zinc plating and these will now be floating around in the vinegar/ rust soup. The most dangerous is the gold coloured plating with the slight rainbow/ oil-slick effect on the surface. This is called hexavalent chromate and it is highly carcinogenic to the point that it was banned in many countries. So, extreme care needs to be taken when disposing of the used vinegar and anything it has come in touch with it.
I love how this guy's "creator loves this comment" mark is on a majority of these comments, it shows that this guy pays attention to what his audience is saying. good video!
I had a pair of needle nose pliers that were lightly rusted. I soaked them in vinegar for a couple of hours, then used a scrub brush on them, and oiled them, and they look like new. Best thing for tools is to keep them indoors in an air conditioned room if you can, which prevents the rust from forming.
I have used steel wool (brand new) and vinegar to make leather dye; the vinegar dissolves the metal to form what I believe is called ferric acid. This turns leather jet black (but sadly also breaks the fibers down over time). My point is that the vinegar doesn't just eat rust. It happily dissolves shinny new ferrous metal as well if you leave it long enough!
The spring is made of a much denser spring steel than the other items. Try using Black Star rust converter next time. I would not put paint on a file ever.
@ 5:40 he concludes that the item was more vulnerable to rust due to a lack of a chrome coating. Perhaps it was more vulnerable due to the vinegar on a surface with less chrome? What ate an erroded the metal? rust? or vinegar?
Could be! In the end, I think both the rust and the vinegar ate away at the tools. But the rusty muck at the bottom of the bucket did the most damage. See the missing end of the box wrench.
Oh, for God's sake... Leave the tools in vinegar overnight (ONE night), rinse, scrub. If there's any rust left (which is unusual), try a second night. I don't know why people think "the longer, the better!" Your experiment shows exactly why you shouldn't do that -- vinegar is an ACID and will eat away at more than just rust, given enough time! One day, folks, is plenty for the vast majority of rust problems!!!
Checking in once a day seems like a good rule of thumb, thanks for sharing. However, I just finished restoring a rusty bench grinder. I treated it for five(ish) days with vinegar, followed by wire wheel, followed by three weeks in molasses, and there was STILL rust on it when I finally decided to just spray it with rust converting spray paint. The duration needed really seems to vary.
Wow... That must have been some really tough rust! Perhaps the composition of the steel has an effect on how quickly the rust comes off??? I've, literally, never had to soak more than 2 days! I stand corrected!
Thought about it, but it was November, it was already cold in the garage, and the temperature was on track to plummet even further. And I wanted to take care of that tub of horror before it got tipped over. :|
I did the same thing with a rock hammer I found in the forest...put it in a vinegar bath and totally forgot about it. When I finally took it out and cleaned it up I was really impressed. It had pitting too, and was obviously beat up, but it looked good and was still plenty thick. I got it all cleaned up and restored and ready to go and I was so proud of myself, and the FIRST time I used it, it immediately snapped in half. I wonder if the vinegar did something to the metal on a micro-scale that made it brittle, or if it was something else that happened to the hammer to make it that way. The area I found it has a history of forest fires so that may have affected it too.
In case your wondering, even really rusty steel or iron only needs a day in vinegar! After a few hours take a brush to the parts and put em back in. Really speeds up the process.
It was vinegar concentrate, and all that was left was a dark sludge substance with an vinegar iron smell. Nothing solid bigger than an grain of sand. I was amazed even that I needed the screws and washers I did not remember for what they where... When there is a hundred screws you are dealing with on a project... Who ever invented oxidation deserved to be kicked in his but. LOL
When the vinegar dissolves the ferrous oxide (rust) they combine to form Ferrous Acetate. Also known as Vinegar Black or Vinegaroon. It can be used to blacken wood or vegetable tanned leather (leather tanned using wood bark tannins) If used on wood it actually helps prevent rot from seawater. This is whybthe British used it to blacken the decks of their sailing ships hundreds of years ago.
I suspect it's more of a best practice than a necessity. Vinegar is already fairly mild, and most of it would come off during a rinse process. Still not a bad step. How has your vinegar-treated stuff held up without the neutralizing? Looks like it worked pretty well on the bolts!
Andrew Reuter I believe that they are all holding up well, i also like to spray a clear coat on my stuff that i do to prevent more rust from coming. The reason I'm not sure about how the parts that i have already done is because I've done them on hardware on other people mowers and stuff but i am doing an exhaust clamp right now and ill let you know if the vinegar causes the rust process to speed up before i paint it.
yes I just clean it with water and oil it or paint it but it u do clean it off soon after getting outa the vinegar it will start rusting I don't neutralize it like he did and im good
Interesting. I bought a couple of small victorian seeding machines on ebay a few years ago. They were both the same design so I thought I would be able to make one good one from parts of both. When they arrived, they were solid with rust and stuck together. None of the parts could move, it was like a model of two machines. I made up a vinegar bath and soaked them for a whole week, then cleaned and oiled them and they were both able to be moved about and seperated. Eventually I made one good one from both then fabricated the missing bits on the second and ended up with two useable machines..Im amazed your tools were still alive after all that time.
I've got an ongoing small scale experiment of iron in vimegar too. It's interesting that it changes phases over time and eventually ends up as a surprisingly green substance.
Vinegar definitely works like a champ. I had a pair of extremely rusty pliers I use to remove hooks from fish (saltwater fishing). They were so rusty in fact I could no longer open them. I soaked them in straight vinegar for 10-12 hours and they are now 100% useable and most of the rust came off.
uwais qarani do.... Do you not understand how enemas work????? Ok so when a guy or gal and a douche have a very intimate relationship, they put the anal douche up their ass after filling that douche with water, or in this case vinegar, they pump their ass full of water, and then they wait a bit, and go to the toilet, and then all their shit comes out in a lumpy soup.
I have found that a wire wheel on your bench grinder is very effective at not just removing rust, it also seems to give the metal a kind of rust proofing that lasts quite a long while. I'm not saying you can leave your tools out in the rain, but in normal use, the rust proofing lasts for many years. Maybe ask your metals guy why this might be so.
It’s due to the peening affect of the wire brush….it’s like thousands of tiny hammers having hit the metal, compressing the surface, leaving it harder and smoother, therefore preventing moisture entering the surface and developing into rust…I always use a rotary brush after cleaning objects with emery etc…especially threads…
vinegar is acid and is design to corrode iron,soda is base and will neutralize or dilute if mixed to any form of acid In metal with high iron content must be cleaned thoroughly of boil in water to evaporate remaining acid that penetrates porosity in it prior to coating or painting to avoid rust re-born.
Nyles Sanna I wanted to quickly protect them from rust. Sounds like once you oil them, there's no going back to painting them without a ton of work cleaning the oil off. Inversely, the clear coat wouldn't hurt the ability to oil them later, if I wanted to use them again. But most of these will probably end up as artwork now, anyway.
Great video. It may have been a good thing that "life got in the way" and you left the metal items in the vinegar for 19 months, lol. It definitely made the results interesting. It would have been cool if you did have some before pics of the exact items you worked on 19 months later but regardless the experiment is a hit. Well done.
@@roelvian that's not how that works though. The vinegar will absolutely eat away at the metal itself. I often use vinegar to remove scale from the pieces that I have smithed, if I forget a keyring for a few extra days it absolutely will corrode the metal, not just the scale.
Presumably the entire time those tools were in the vinegar, atmospheric oxygen was percolating into the liquid and continuing to oxidize the metals. The acid prevented passivation of the surfaces (dry rust is actually somewhat protective of the underlying metal; but water is catalytic of rust and the acid was making the iron oxide into iron acetate). In other words, the acid bath aggressively promoted corrosion in the long term. It should be used only in the short term for rust removal.
I am actually not joking I want to thank you for this video. Is it just me or is there something really satisfying about this. Also I can’t wait for phone to reach 100% and this man waits 19 months
:) Thank you very much! To be fair, if our phones could sit in the corner of the garage for 19 months without being missed, the phone-charging-waiting game would be much easier...

well it is simple the vinegar became a saturated solution and that means that the vinegar did not have the capacity to hold more then x amount of rust and in turn could not continue dissolving the rest.
felix eriksson, it's not so much a matter of a saturated solution, rather that the acid in the vinegar was probably neutralised by all that iron oxide. Also that doesn't effect the evaporation time. He covered it.
MrGoatflakes hi
Vinegar is ethanoic acid (a.k.a acetic acid) solution not propanoic acid.
Literally have no idea why this was recommended to me. or why I'm watching it. but hey ho, i enjoy a little spontaneity as much as the next guy cleaning tools in his garage.

The Prep & Etch was all you needed to derust your tools
John Donahue Probably true, though I suspect it's less forgiving than relatively mild vinegar. What kind of results vs. amount time soaking have you seen with Prep and Etch?
The Prep & Etch is basically phosphoric acid which unlike other rust removal acids, doesn't disolve steel, only the iron oxide.
Life got in the way for over one and a half years?🤔😂

Commercial store bought vinegar is a mix of water and vinegar acid. Yes, the acid attacks rust, but it attacks metal too. The best rust removal happens inside the first 2 hours. Anything after that allows the vinegar to begin attacking the metal too. [Actually it attacks the metal instantly, but without a magnifying glass you can''t see that with only a 2 or 3 hour soak.] Leave something in the vinegar overnight and you can be sure it will have tiny pit marks etched into it. Leave it in for months and I am surprised anything survived.
If you suspend the tools in vinegar so they aren't swimming in their own oxides, you should see minimal corrosion, as the acid has affinity for the oxides a lot more than the metal itself. Other acids can be better or worse as far as this affinity goes, oxalic acid for instance is even better than vinegar.
you sound smart - while isle is the oxalic acid in?
It's used as wood bleach, to remove black stains from water penetration. That might get you in the right aisle to start checking ingredients. Not sure since I buy it online.
Oh, it causes cancer, so you know its the good stuff.
I've used vinegar to clean out an old metal fuel tank, worked perfectly. Better than what I had ever thought it would. That fuel tank is still in use today and no issues with rust ever since. Although I did have to replace the small inline fuel filter numerous times until it was totally clean.
Just a little bit of first hand experience with something that used to be a "throw away" item if it had rust inside of it!
Cheers.
I got rust between the spring spirals on my motorcycle suspension, will vinegar work?
@@NowLedgeOutpost It eats rust for breakfast mate. I cleaned out a rusted out old metal fuel tank with vinegar, try that out too!
@@AusLanderJack i can't take the suspension apart, got any tips?
@@NowLedgeOutpost Nope, hard to suggest anything without seeing it, but a shallow dish/tote/tub with vinegar in it and rotate the part in that (gradually) might be the way to go, but again, that is dependent on the actual part itself and your call. It will take much longer that way. Some parts you must use a softer scrubbing brush, on the ones that are chunky steel, you can even bravely attempt a wire brush. But the vinegar WILL eat into the rust, not the steel,
@@AusLanderJack you seem like a reasonable and helping individual. As far as showing goes, give me any of your socials where I could send you the photo of that thing, alright?
Clear coating your files ya good luck with that
Not so smart aren't ya.
Everything in the bucket is destroyed and unusable.
Files could still be used (maybe) all depends on the teeth. I don't think this guy was looking to use any of these after this anyways.
He did say he expected that none of the tools would be usable. You ought to pay more attention so you sound smarter than your comment.
Impressive lexicon.. yeah you better google it.
The fact that he PROBABLY doesn't intend to use the files doesn't mean it's any less a bad idea to show clear coating them on the Internet. The poor things have enough abuse to deal with as it is, what with everyone storing them all banged up against each other, never carding them, etc.
I never knew I'd be so satisfied at the sound of sped up footage of a person using a brush. its so nice wtf 😂
For light rust, a day in a bucket of apple cider vinegar should do it... for medium rust... about 2 days in vinegar does it for me... maybe up to 4.. for heavy, like a week.
If you're leaving anything in for 19 months, it's likely there won't be much left there when you remove it if it was that much rusted.
The main key you need to know is, when you remove it, don't wash the item, or blow dry it... water and heat will start rust back immediately. Instead, wipe it with a somewhat clean rag dry, then brush on with a paint brush phosphoric acid and let it sit. Before the phosphoric acid gets super sticky and dries, wipe it off. This will stop any further rust from forming.
If you got really tough rust pits that won't come out, alternate between soaking it in apple cidar vinegar and phosphoric acid, back and forth, and scrub it with a wire brush in between... while going back and forth between these you can run the piece under a tap as you scrub the rust loose like it was mud... just as soon as you are done go back into the other chemical for more derusting.
If you are short on time and want to derust something as fast as possible chemically, and it's a small part, go straight into phosophoric acid. Great for small parts that can go in a mason jar or big pickle jar. If it's a bigger part, paint it with phosphoric acid with a brush and wrap in plastic, and uncover and keep repainting it periodically to keep it in wet with phosphoric acid.
Apple Cider Viengar from Walmart or the grocery store by the gallon is cheapest... followed by white vinegar which doesn't smell so bad. Lemon juice works too and smells nice but is quite expensive.
Good summary here, thanks for sharing! Lots of folks seem to think flash rust isn’t real, so I’m glad to see another endorsement of phosphoric acid. 👍
.....who leaves tools in vinegar for a year and 7 montns?
I do all the time.
I could ask the same to people who leave wine in a barrel for centuries.

Thank you for the kind words!
Care must be taken when using vinegar to remove rust from items that are/ were chrome or zinc plated. If left a day or so the vinegar will remove the zinc/ chrome plating. The problem is that there are carcinogenic elements used in both chroming and zinc plating and these will now be floating around in the vinegar/ rust soup. The most dangerous is the gold coloured plating with the slight rainbow/ oil-slick effect on the surface. This is called hexavalent chromate and it is highly carcinogenic to the point that it was banned in many countries. So, extreme care needs to be taken when disposing of the used vinegar and anything it has come in touch with it.
Why is it dangerous
How would one go about dumping such a soup?
He has a real talent it's amazing how he scrubs those tools so fast
Bahaha
I love how this guy's "creator loves this comment" mark is on a majority of these comments, it shows that this guy pays attention to what his audience is saying. good video!
Thank you!
The sound of you scrubbing the tools in fast motion, absolutely cool!
😊 Thanks!
They got so clean...they disappeared.
What am I doing with my life
I had a pair of needle nose pliers that were lightly rusted. I soaked them in vinegar for a couple of hours, then used a scrub brush on them, and oiled them, and they look like new. Best thing for tools is to keep them indoors in an air conditioned room if you can, which prevents the rust from forming.
Something about the sounds of him working in fast forward is super satisfying idk if it's just me but damn

TRASHURE 111th like.
I have used steel wool (brand new) and vinegar to make leather dye; the vinegar dissolves the metal to form what I believe is called ferric acid. This turns leather jet black (but sadly also breaks the fibers down over time). My point is that the vinegar doesn't just eat rust. It happily dissolves shinny new ferrous metal as well if you leave it long enough!
Very cool!
The spring is made of a much denser spring steel than the other items. Try using Black Star rust converter next time. I would not put paint on a file ever.
Never taken really tanken interested in tools in my 19 years but I'm finding myself drawn to these type of videos lately joesperg especially
I remember going into the hardware store as a kid and being bored out of my mind. Now I could spend hours there. Welcome to the fold! 😆
@ 5:40 he concludes that the item was more vulnerable to rust due to a lack of a chrome coating. Perhaps it was more vulnerable due to the vinegar on a surface with less chrome? What ate an erroded the metal? rust? or vinegar?
Could be! In the end, I think both the rust and the vinegar ate away at the tools. But the rusty muck at the bottom of the bucket did the most damage. See the missing end of the box wrench.
Oh, for God's sake... Leave the tools in vinegar overnight (ONE night), rinse, scrub. If there's any rust left (which is unusual), try a second night. I don't know why people think "the longer, the better!" Your experiment shows exactly why you shouldn't do that -- vinegar is an ACID and will eat away at more than just rust, given enough time! One day, folks, is plenty for the vast majority of rust problems!!!
Checking in once a day seems like a good rule of thumb, thanks for sharing. However, I just finished restoring a rusty bench grinder. I treated it for five(ish) days with vinegar, followed by wire wheel, followed by three weeks in molasses, and there was STILL rust on it when I finally decided to just spray it with rust converting spray paint. The duration needed really seems to vary.
Wow... That must have been some really tough rust! Perhaps the composition of the steel has an effect on how quickly the rust comes off??? I've, literally, never had to soak more than 2 days! I stand corrected!
For me the electro trick still works best. Just push some 12v trough it for a day and it is clean as a whistle.
He said he forgot about it because life happened. Hasn't something like that ever happened to you? It has to me!
why not waait 20 mounths for a better title
Thought about it, but it was November, it was already cold in the garage, and the temperature was on track to plummet even further. And I wanted to take care of that tub of horror before it got tipped over. :|
Because only 17 mouths were needed to consume the metal...
I did the same thing with a rock hammer I found in the forest...put it in a vinegar bath and totally forgot about it. When I finally took it out and cleaned it up I was really impressed. It had pitting too, and was obviously beat up, but it looked good and was still plenty thick. I got it all cleaned up and restored and ready to go and I was so proud of myself, and the FIRST time I used it, it immediately snapped in half. I wonder if the vinegar did something to the metal on a micro-scale that made it brittle, or if it was something else that happened to the hammer to make it that way. The area I found it has a history of forest fires so that may have affected it too.
Whoa, that’s crazy! I’ll have to try banging these wrenches on something sometime for a similar test. Thanks for sharing!
ah a good derusting to your murder equipment.

I went to my local DIY superstore but couldn't find the 'murder equipment' aisle and didn't like to ask 😲
You are hilarious!!!!!??
i love how you speed some parts up!
In case your wondering, even really rusty steel or iron only needs a day in vinegar! After a few hours take a brush to the parts and put em back in. Really speeds up the process.
I forgot screws and washers for a few months in vinegar and they where gone!
+onhawaii I believe it! Not much to those, and they'd get covered in muck pretty quick.
It was vinegar concentrate, and all that was left was a dark sludge substance with an vinegar iron smell. Nothing solid bigger than an grain of sand. I was amazed even that I needed the screws and washers I did not remember for what they where... When there is a hundred screws you are dealing with on a project... Who ever invented oxidation deserved to be kicked in his but. LOL
Dude my ears thanks you. Best sounds I've ever heard.
Thanks!

Sofang - Same here, I kept rewinding to listen again. lol
Your profile picture was the same face I made hearing this.
what do you mean?
When the vinegar dissolves the ferrous oxide (rust) they combine to form Ferrous Acetate.
Also known as Vinegar Black or Vinegaroon.
It can be used to blacken wood or vegetable tanned leather (leather tanned using wood bark tannins)
If used on wood it actually helps prevent rot from seawater.
This is whybthe British used it to blacken the decks of their sailing ships hundreds of years ago.
Very interesting, didn’t know that. Thanks!
you should try this again with coke

Is it required to neutralize the vinegar? I have used this trick on many things before but i have not done the neutralizing part.
I suspect it's more of a best practice than a necessity. Vinegar is already fairly mild, and most of it would come off during a rinse process. Still not a bad step. How has your vinegar-treated stuff held up without the neutralizing? Looks like it worked pretty well on the bolts!
Andrew Reuter I believe that they are all holding up well, i also like to spray a clear coat on my stuff that i do to prevent more rust from coming. The reason I'm not sure about how the parts that i have already done is because I've done them on hardware on other people mowers and stuff but i am doing an exhaust clamp right now and ill let you know if the vinegar causes the rust process to speed up before i paint it.
yes I just clean it with water and oil it or paint it but it u do clean it off soon after getting outa the vinegar it will start rusting I don't neutralize it like he did and im good
The box end wrench that lost one end will be your favorite small pry-bar so don't pitch it. I have one just like it and love it!
Never thought of that, good idea. Thanks!
Interesting. I bought a couple of small victorian seeding machines on ebay a few years ago. They were both the same design so I thought I would be able to make one good one from parts of both. When they arrived, they were solid with rust and stuck together. None of the parts could move, it was like a model of two machines. I made up a vinegar bath and soaked them for a whole week, then cleaned and oiled them and they were both able to be moved about and seperated. Eventually I made one good one from both then fabricated the missing bits on the second and ended up with two useable machines..Im amazed your tools were still alive after all that time.
That is awesome! Love the determination and ingenuity to keep those old machines going.
I've got an ongoing small scale experiment of iron in vimegar too. It's interesting that it changes phases over time and eventually ends up as a surprisingly green substance.
Vimegar wil do that.
Vinegar definitely works like a champ. I had a pair of extremely rusty pliers I use to remove hooks from fish (saltwater fishing). They were so rusty in fact I could no longer open them. I soaked them in straight vinegar for 10-12 hours and they are now 100% useable and most of the rust came off.
this has a special quality of humor in my eyes,gets my ''up thumb
dem strange Thank you!
The little spring that could.
The sound of the wire brush being sped up is really satisfying.
I clean all my old tools with vinegar, and I’ve always wanted to try this, see what happens if I were to leave something in there for months
Guess it's useful for something else instead of flavoring roasted fish
Vinegar is not useful for flavoring roasted fish sorry
Its good for tidying up vaginas as well.
koglowa its good as a dip, mixed with lime thai chilis and soy sauce.
uwais qarani do.... Do you not understand how enemas work????? Ok so when a guy or gal and a douche have a very intimate relationship, they put the anal douche up their ass after filling that douche with water, or in this case vinegar, they pump their ass full of water, and then they wait a bit, and go to the toilet, and then all their shit comes out in a lumpy soup.
Vinegar username checks out
I have found that a wire wheel on your bench grinder is very effective at not just removing rust, it also seems to give the metal a kind of rust proofing that lasts quite a long while. I'm not saying you can leave your tools out in the rain, but in normal use, the rust proofing lasts for many years.
Maybe ask your metals guy why this might be so.
Interesting! I’ll definitely ask about that!
It’s due to the peening affect of the wire brush….it’s like thousands of tiny hammers having hit the metal, compressing the surface, leaving it harder and smoother, therefore preventing moisture entering the surface and developing into rust…I always use a rotary brush after cleaning objects with emery etc…especially threads…

hear in my garrage with my old buket of rust and vinegar i dont know what more to type so just add some stuff to it
vinegar is acid and is design to corrode iron,soda is base and will neutralize or dilute if mixed to any form of acid In metal with high iron content must be cleaned thoroughly of boil in water to evaporate remaining acid that penetrates porosity in it prior to coating or painting to avoid rust re-born.
so why clear coat and not just an oil rub down? Just wondering, never heard of anyone doing this method.
Nyles Sanna I wanted to quickly protect them from rust. Sounds like once you oil them, there's no going back to painting them without a ton of work cleaning the oil off. Inversely, the clear coat wouldn't hurt the ability to oil them later, if I wanted to use them again. But most of these will probably end up as artwork now, anyway.
Useful but I would have liked to have seen the rusty tools prior to soaking just for a before and after comparison.
I didn't think I had a photo of the original tools. But I found one! ruclips.net/video/iMJUDyiruGA/видео.htmlm43s

Great video. It may have been a good thing that "life got in the way" and you left the metal items in the vinegar for 19 months, lol. It definitely made the results interesting. It would have been cool if you did have some before pics of the exact items you worked on 19 months later but regardless the experiment is a hit. Well done.
Thanks for the kind words! I did eventually find a photo of the original tools though: ruclips.net/video/iMJUDyiruGA/видео.htmlm43s
Andrew, you cleaning tools super fast was exactly what I needed today.
Glad to hear it! 😊
Not supposed to leave it in there that long, but it's a good experiment.
greenspiraldragon use an aquarium air pump and bubble air through it maybe 3 days if you heat it less than 1 day
i mean, it probably wasn't the vinegar to cause damage, all the material that is now missing, was just rust, not the original metal anymore.
He explained why he did but hey you do whatever makes you feel superior
@@roelvian that's not how that works though. The vinegar will absolutely eat away at the metal itself. I often use vinegar to remove scale from the pieces that I have smithed, if I forget a keyring for a few extra days it absolutely will corrode the metal, not just the scale.
Quentin Tarantino had a RUclips channel?
you are a magical man, you are both 20 and 40 years old at the same time, very impressive
This makes it very tough for clerks at liquor stores! 😆
Did Quentin Tarantino and Kevin Spacey have a kid together?
Andrew: I'm gonna neutralize the vinegar in baking soda
Me: AUDIBLE CONFUSION
Presumably the entire time those tools were in the vinegar, atmospheric oxygen was percolating into the liquid and continuing to oxidize the metals. The acid prevented passivation of the surfaces (dry rust is actually somewhat protective of the underlying metal; but water is catalytic of rust and the acid was making the iron oxide into iron acetate).
In other words, the acid bath aggressively promoted corrosion in the long term. It should be used only in the short term for rust removal.
Good explanation!
The sounds in this video were pretty cool sounding.
The sludge looks a lot like 3 week old smoothie. Don't ask.
I am actually not joking I want to thank you for this video. Is it just me or is there something really satisfying about this. Also I can’t wait for phone to reach 100% and this man waits 19 months
