I thought I would give an update on what worked for me.
Boesheild was not sold at Home Depot. They even looked it up on their computer in Customer Service and they said they never sold it. i looked for this product at Walmart and Target, but neither had it.
The tri-flow is not carried at Walmart or Home Depot, so I have to stop at an Ace and see if they carry it. Haven't tried that one with the steel whool yet.
PB Blaster was at both Home Depot and Waltmart. It did not free up either my Dremmel bit nor a lock I was trying to get a key into. so for me this didn't work so well, but have the can now and will continue to use it as needed. Maybe it will help on other rusted items.
Corrosion Block did the deed. I was able to get it at Alumside. they carry 2 sizes of cans there. It freed up my Dremmel and also the lock I couldn't get the key into. It has been great for rust removal from my jewelry tools as well as my garden pruners. This is great stuff.
One last question:
I have lots of jewelers files. They were very rusty. I have put the corrosion block on them and wrapped them in cloth to store.
Is the corossion block oil going to dull the files? Is it advisable to use this on files? If not, how does one keep rust off files?
Thanks again for the advice.
