Evapo-Rust ER012 Super Safe – 128 oz., Non Toxic Rust Remover for Auto Parts, Hardware, Antiques | Rust Removers and Chemicals

Soaked a lot of rusted hand tools and wrenches (Got them at a garage sale). Cleaned them up and we painted a 12 inch pipe wrench to make it appear new. Expensive liquid but did the job for us.

Purchased to de-rust some metal springs and clips. Put them in the rust remover for a couple hours and rinsed with water. Some of the springs turned a darker color, probably due to some chemical reaction (not an issue for me) but otherwise the rust was gone. Shouldve bought it locally at the hardware store after I found out they stocked it, but needed this quickly and didnt want to go out due to Covid.

This is the most impressive purchase I have made in a long time. I don’t know how this stuff works, it defies logic. There is no smell, it’s non-toxic, doesn’t foam or hiss... but no matter what I put in my little pan of evaporust, it comes out looking like new. On the deeper rust it leaves behind nothing more than some darker metal, but the rust is literally completely evaporated. As I’m writing this review, I’m walking around my tool shop looking for anything with rust on it just so I can dip it into the stuff, it’s almost addicting to watch. After wiping off any residue, I hit each tool with a drop of machine oil to prevent future rust. Truly incredible.

This stuff works really well, and doesnt leave things oily or slimy. Cleans right off easily. Set your expectations realistically - things dont come out chrome plated - just rust free, and ready to start refinishing. I checked in 2 hours, then 4 hours, and decided to go for 24 hours. Done. Then poured the used (whole gallon) back into its container until I need it again.

I am always skeptical of “environmentally-friendly” products (because that usually translates to “poor-performing”) but this did not disappoint. Very good results and relatively fast-acting relative to other rust removers. Would definitely recommend and I will buy again.

I inherited a bunch of old rusty tools and this stuff worked great removing all of the rust and making them usable again. My only problem with the stuff is that some of they tools turned black. Not sure if I just used it too many times or if it just does that to certain metals. All of the wrenches and sockets came out great, but a bunch of the old hammers, screwdrivers, chisels, files, etc. turned black.

I’ve been cleaning the rust off old tools with the product. Works great and fast with no damage to the tools. I’m able to use it im The house as it puts off no smells. Be sure and clean off as much dirt and grime from whatever you are cleaning. The product will last longer.

It works well on light rust. Great for hand tools. Just put them in a bucket and let it do the work. I really like the fact that its biodegradable, non-toxic, etc. No need for gloves and no chemical fumes.

I have used Evaporust for about 10 years and it is my go to rust remover. I restore a variety of antiques and I use this toremove rust. It does not harm the metal and its biodegradable.

I have used this product for years. It does what it claims. I have used it on rusty bolts and screws with very good results. I bought the gallon this time as I was going to need a lot to cover the rusty tools I just inherited. It did a great job of bring them back. It wont cure deep pitting, but it made the tools look great.
