How do you remove rust from nails and screws? The nails and screws are perfectly good nails they have just been in damp quarters. The coke idea has already been proven to be a hoax so now I am lost as to how to get the rust off, so I need help from all of you guys. How do i get rust off from perfectly good nails and screws?

Soak them in wd-40
cover them in motor oil and let soak for a while and take them out and wipe them off.
Why do you need to remove the rust? They will work just as well as non rusted nails and screws and no one will know they were rusted except you.
Nails that are not rusted stand out with the black top and look bad so your right
They don't look as nice
I have to get the rest off the screw too because it's where my faucet on my sink was and I can't replace the faucet handle until I get the rest off cuz I can't unscrew it with all the rest on it
Rusty nails would need Rust Remover soaking and wiping of each nail. If that's worth it to you, good luck. If not, I'd buy another box and toss those into the garden around yellowed leaves on an evergreen, because they are steel/iron derivative, supposedly.
The reason you need to clean rusted screws and nails is because for screws, the "x" shape could be so rusty it breaks. just like what happened to me with my skateboard. i was trying to take out my VERY LAST screw and the inside broke. so i have no way of taking it out. if someone would help that would be great. or else i have to buy a brand new skateboard. and this board has been very faithful so far...
Use rubber bands placed on the slots and a screwdriver. I have tried this and it worked.
Hi! Sorry to hear about your skateboard. Try these ideas:

Try this tried and true method, "Electrolytic rust removal" described here:

If you can still find LYE in your area, it works even better.......just be careful!!
To take the broken screw out of skateboard, get a drill and a drill bit (or tap) (smaller that the screw) drill into the screw then reverse, it should pull the screw out with it.
Coke isn't a hoax, totally. I have about 20 screws from my guitar that are rusted, so I took them all out and put them in coke (I used vanilla coke cuz that's what I had on hand). It didn't completely take it all off, but its a start.
I soak mine in Apple Cider Vinegar. It works well and then I dry them off very good, to make sure they are very dry you can heat them in a oven or in a dry fry pan on low.
What liquid works better to take rust off nails pepsi, apple juice or coke?
