    G'day;  Just pop into your nearest hardware or paint shop or garage
    shop and ask for "Rust Remover"  The simple instructions on the
    bottle will tell you exactly what to do. It will contain phosphoric
    acid, which although it is a mild acid, don't get it on your clothes
    or yourself.  It will just sting and you wash it straight off with
    no problems. But I would suggest you wear rubber gloves and eye
    protection.   But using it as per instructions should cause no
    trouble.   People will tell you to use Coca Cola and other things,
    but honestly, the rust remover you buy will do what it is supposed to
    do at a very reasonable cost.  When the rust and residue is gone,
    lightly oil the tools with a mineral oil or vaseline. 

Cheers now, John Burgess
