I just inherited a large collection of Snap On tools from the 70's and 80's. They were my grandpa's and they are well used to there is some surface rust and such and I am wanting to clean them up. (The ratchets are beyond repair, so they will be replaced by warranty I believe)

What method do you guys thing could work the best? I was considering soaking all of the sockets and wrenches in degreaser followed by a 50/50 white vinegar/water mix. Then spraying them all down with WD40 and cleaning them up just to keep them reasonably nice.

Any ideas?

WD-40 is good stuff but will soon dry up. Keorosene or diesel fuel actually works well on rusty stuff. Allthough smelly, it stays with the tool after you wipe it dry. Marvel Mystery Oil or PB Blaster works good too.

Yes. It is a nice area, very rural. Just down the road is beautiful Buggs Island (Kerr) Lake. I will post some lake pictures one of these days.

Good Morning `Tom & Good Luck on passing your inspection + finding a buyer that has the funds to have some fun in your Super Super Monte Carlo :thumbsup:

Above For Sale Link of Tom's S.S.:thumbsup:


Good News! It's Certified without needing a thing.
Just the charge for the safety inspection.
Plus got it E-Tested and passed that too.
It really runs too good to be 8 years old, but I took good care of her. I hope the next owner takes care of her as well.
I have it listed on AutoTrader.ca


And thank you space for the Ajax link, I drive by that sign all the time. We're just down the road from the Oshawa GM plant where the Monte's were made.

Good evening all!

Good evening everyone
Had a rough day at work today, one of the other supervisors was let go and walked out the front door, no one saw it coming, although I think she is secretly happy as she wasn't truly happy in her job, so we are all being super supportive for her and trying to help her find a new job. Still rather humbling as we never saw it coming.
Other than that, apparently it was a beautiful day outside although I didn't see much of it lol, spent the afternoon orientating some new hire's and trying my best to be funny and keep it entertaining considering the circumstances. I don't like our orientation process as I find they put too much information at them in too short a time, so I like to try and make it as fun and relaxing as possible, plus they get a chance to see that the supervisors are just regular people as well

Hope everyone enjoys their day
