    I haven't followed this thread very closely so forgive me if I
    repeat something that has been said before. 

    If you have a pair of rusted pliers (I know, it ain't a hammer or a
    stake,) that doesn't move very well anymore because of rust in the
    joint, ultrasonic as much rust as you can out of it, blow out some
    more with your steamer, then spray some of that diamond stuff for
    sharpening gravers on a GRS turntable thingy into it and work the
    pliers vigorously. That diamond spray is really amazing at loosening
    up many tight things like new pocket knives and new cheaper
    watchbands. (rinse it off with ultrasound & steam!) It doesn't work
    well on removing coffee stains from your teeth though & tastes
    horrible!
