Time Lapse - Watching rust fall off using vinegar 

If you like this video try this ant timelapse: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-O1pmhtZbAxE.html

I like how he closes the box and puts it on the shelf like "There. Never to be used again!"

Sorry about the bad music everyone -- that was one of my first videos. I have learned my lesson. :-)

Please note that the case is stained due to the rust. It is washed clean. It will not cause the metal to rust again.

For those saying he didn’t clean the box, he did but that box is made of plastic so the rust from the metals won’t come out easy, it’s not some kind of stainless steal box that you can just wipe off.

Why does every time lapse I see have to make it sound like I'm traveling through space or some shit

I tried this and it worked. I've done all the tools in my garage that rusted when the roof leaked over the winter. Only a very few tools need a second go. Thanks for such an excellent tip

Found my hedge clippers out behind the garage. Of course they are rusted. I need them to cut down locust saplings. So glad I found your channel. Thanks so much. Now I need to put them in the garage not behind it.

Good job of cleaning and protecting with the oil. I've heard that vinegar would remove rust, but had never tried it. Now I've got some rusted tools that will get the vinegar treatment. Thanks for sharing.

Should have sharpened them again, all the sharp edges were rusted away and subsequently more dulled by the vinegar.

Good job but forgot to clean the box!!

This is why I never drive my Jeep through a white vinegar puddle.

I don't understand why this video has 3.4k dislikes 🤔 I mean it's just a video of a man cleaning some tools, why?? What so wrong about it?

Your video is well done. It's concise and makes the project look simple in addition to it being VERY helpful. Thank you so much for sharing!

3:00 Look it's Albert Einstein on the left

Nice demonstration. When you rinse though you should add some baking soda to the rinse water to neutralize any remaining acid in the washed off vinegar. Agree, vinegar is a very good inexpensive rust remover.

Thanks for sharing. I thought gasoline was the only way to get rust off. I really didn’t know about the oil either. Thanks again this old lady just learned something new!

Everyone saying he didn't clean the box but he did..

This is the type of quality content that i wanted on my recommended! Interesting video! :D

One brilliant idea , I'll keep this in mind, thanks for sharing.. you've rust proof it and gave it a good vintage Bettina look...

Rust in peace !

I use to do this a long time ago. I am hesitant to try again though. I might be a little rusty.

I love how the rust rust peels off of the tools. Really satisfying.

Thanks for posting. I have a streetcar rail from the the late 1800s in need of restoration. Very helpful!

I actually LIKED the music. It was funny and ironic to see the equivalent of watching paint dry coupled with action adventure music. High quality video. Thanks for doing this!

Well done. Thanks for taking the trouble to shoot this video.

My grandson borrowed my tools a while back, & I specifically told him NOT to leave them out in the rain. Of course, he didn't listen.(He also lost a few small sockets) I used a wire wheel to clean them as best I could. I did oil them up, tho'. Maybe I'll try the vinegar now. The blow molded case(Craftsman) was pretty much ruined, I thought. Maybe I'll try some vinegar on it, also.

Thanks, I am going to put all my rusty stuff in vinegar. I never knew it cleaned rust so well until I saw your video.

Now that's what i call a resourceful guy...well done!

Thank you. It made a great change from watching paint dry.

2:55 - is that the face of Ron Jeremy in the dish?

2022 - still using vinegar for flea market tools, usually just surface rust, picked up for pennies. Sometimes after cleaning I'll put them in a tumbler for a little polishing. Look almost new.

Thanks for the video, you did a really good job Vinegar will not weaken the steel or the case hardening on it. The rust will however, so the damage is already done As you say, it's not an issue with low speed spade drill bits intended only for wood

Me while watching: "Mom do we have something rusty?!"

Enjoyed this, I'm now wondering why I'm bothering with electrolysis 😂

Used this method on a pair of side cut pliers, which have been frozen for a couple of years, last week. Worked great. And these things had been locked up for years.

Unbelievably satisfying to watch.

This is satisfying AF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I liked the music to be honest, seemed like time travel, which it was sort of

The time-lapse makes this Vid' especially useful - Thanks :)

So satisfying! Been doing this with my car parts and love seeing the results!

Rust removal with acid is a simple, school-level chemistry reaction: iron oxide + acid = iron salt + water. Iron salt of most acids is soluble, so rust "dissolves". Most other metal oxides are removable the same way. The downside is that (non-rusted) iron also reacts with acid (unlike some less-active metals like copper which don't), producing iron salt and hydrogen. The bubbles on the tools surfaces in the video is that hydrogen. Basically, this inflicts a tiny bit of more damage to the parts. Because of this, rust removal with acids should not be prolonged above than the necessary minimum.

That iMovie music that I associate with RuPaul Drag Race compilation videos hahaha

Thanks, I done the vinegar only before but never put the oil on, resulting in it not working ,so will do the 3 parts in the video. Thank you

Made my day! I love this stuff :) TY!!

Lmao at the end there I thought I’d be seeing the new season of dragrace cast revealed or something xD

a quick polish after the vinegar would have made them shine!

Thanks. You made watching rust fall off interesting.

great demo, thanks for the tip.

2:58 look like aface on the left

Great video. Looks easy to do. I'm going to give it a shot. Thank you very much.

Unbelievable, absolutely fantastic

This was one of those 'oddly satisfying' things...

from a rust video into a drag race spoiler video with the last music 😂

Just what I needed to see. Thanks!

Have used molasses for this purpose (old school) and plain white sugar but it generally takes a few days to get that type of result, perhaps because the sugar has to start to ferment and become acidic. Thanks for sharing.

I find a lot of the comments in regards to this video indicate a lack of maturity, integrity and intelligence.

Don't forget to neutralize!

Excellent. Thank you very much for sharing. God Bless you!

60 seconds of satisfying footage

I am asking this question on behalf of the box, "why don't clean me?" :)

Would this work for my skills?

Thank you, I had no idea that you can oil to the tool, just simple car oil. 🐾🐾🐾❤️

The vinegar was worth more than those spade bits😂😂😂 But cool to watch

That was really less than a day that did wonders

Watching rust fall off is like watching grass grow or ice melt or paint dry. Not in a bad way though. In a good way

This is so satisfying to watch

Thanks for your video. I never knew vinegar cleared rust off metal. Tried it on a bbq i had tbat parts were going rusty so i kept bathing it in vinegar as i couldn't soak the parts in a bath and pretty much back to new metal again

Clean tools place back in a dirty box. Still awesome vid. Thx

Who else sees the face in the rust when he rubs the tools with oil

Cool video. I learned something! Thanks for sharing

well, I'm amazed. Thank you.

wow very cool i have heard regular coke a cola takes off rust too lol

When you put thte vinegar at the container I literally just smelled a vinegar in real life

Watching this reminded me of the WW II "mend and make do" philosophy that prevailed until the latter part of the 20th century. Things weren't thrown away; if at all possible, they were repaired or refurbished.

Damn now I gotta find something rusty to try this on, cool video.

Less than $10 for almost complete bit set, deal to me.

You should have cleaned the inside of the box too.

So satisfying!

I found an interestingly shaped Kukri/cleaver looking machete in my yard last week, gonna soak it in vinegar this weekend and clean it up and make myself a restored custom bushwacker and a handle ha ha.

imagine drinking the vineger after the timelapse

2:56 i thought it was an ad to sponsor something

(Beware the expense', I bet he used $0.10cents worth of vinegar?) ;) Great+useful video particularly the time-lapse, obviously vinegar can be used on everything from a rusting barbecue to a rusting chain. very insightful. John, Perth, Australia.

I learned way too many things in too short of a time in this video. Mind blown.

I can smell the vinegar right through the screen.... Oh wait, I'm in the kitchen marinating fish😅

3:37 lets just put this in the bunch of shit that I'll never touch again

Awesome! Tip. When uing vinagar to clen any kind of patina from metal, always rinse with baking soda water to nuetralize the vingar.

Nice work!

like panning for gold lol awesome tips

OCD be like "why didn't you clean the original tool case!?"

I am amazed by the final result I couldn’t believe it!

very cool. thanks for sharing!

My brain for some reason: Drink it

The box it came in is rusty :(

At my age, my brain is a bit rusty, gonna go soak my head in some vinegar and wait for the results... am all kinds of excited, thanks for the info!

Wow! Vinager seems to do the trick, thanks for that.

Interesting but I think RU-vid is desperately trying to find different things to put on my recommended list 😁 Ooo up next Cast iron restoration

Don't throw the used vinegar away. It'd taste lovely on fish and chips with bits.

Great video!

Thanks great video and informations.
