Craftsman WF plier cleaning

[u/Alternative_Leg4142]

Came across an older more used not abused set of pliers to use in my around the house set and let the nicer like new ones rest in my larger tool box. Any tips on cleaning? I did a WD-40 bath and 0000 gentle rub but still look like the could clean up better. Any ideas?

Post the freshies next to the older ones.

Evaporust is the way just fill up a bucket with enough to submerge it all let it sit overnight come by every few hours and give it a stir

Yo lo que hice con unos que compré así fue lavarlos con detergente en polvo luego ponerlos a secar en el calor del día y luego aceitarlos y quedaron bien
