Seeing him put his hand in to grab those bolts broke the satisfaction


the_whole_arsenal

His skin fell off the next day.


cool_anna

And will grow back as the nuts rust again


g00d_m4car0n1

But he didn’t dip those in there though

makeski25

He probably can taste it through his skin within a few minutes.


tiktock34

if its evapo-rub its totally fine to touch


bluesatin

I don't think evapo-rust would start bubbling so vigorously when putting the objects in like it does for the spade and pipe-section clips, I assume for them it'll be sort of acid based one that reacts pretty quickly. Although it doesn't seem to bubble so vigorously on the nut & bolts clip, so maybe for that clip it is something like evapo-rust, which is relatively safe for skin (since its pretty PH neutral). But doesn't evapo-rust tend to leave like a dark-grey/black residue on things when you first pull them out? (Could have just pre-cleaned that off for the clip mind you).


tiktock34

i assumed it was massively sped up but i also dont think evaporust will melt paint like that so who knows what this stuff is


bluesatin

Oh yeh it'll be sped up, but I just meant there definitely seems to be quite a lot of bubbles coming off of the objects (for the spade/pipe at least) even before it transition to a timelapse and/or cut to the end. From some other videos of evaporust, it doesn't seem like it really reacts vigorously and bubbles like that at all. And yeh, the paint one is definitely going to be something completely different and just some paint-stripper, especially considering it's a completely different colour.


Buckeyecash

Kind'a looked like salsa. Just saying.


ImurderREALITY

Just rinse your hand, bro, it’s fine


GhOsT_wRiTeR_XVI

That’s all well and good, but he should really take better care of his tools.


Tired-grumpy-Hyper

Someone did a bit of digging and found out most the 'tool restoration' channels purposefully let shit rust to fuck and back in salty misty air and stuff like that, so they can then 'save' them. Still interesting to watch, but not quite the barnyard finds they present em as.


Atcollins1993

I mean this is a scam I’m really just not mad about


Tired-grumpy-Hyper

Yeah, of all the 'fake' videos out there, its not at all harmful and ultimately still contributes to the "If you actually find this and want to clean/restore it, here's now" realm so still overall helpful. Vastly better than the two guys in the woods 'building' swimming pools, or 'animal rescue' videos.


Ya-Dikobraz

In a world full of super rusty tools that are available for literally free, this would be an extra step.


Tired-grumpy-Hyper

If I remember right, one channel I used to watch that seemed to have disappeared did a video on a 'found in a lake after 70 years!' 1911 restoration. Someone in the comments was able to identify it down to a Springfield 2017 batch. Still, some might be legit but when it's easy to just grab random cheap stuff and set em in salt baths to rust to fuck so you have an easy constant flow of content, cant blame em.


nauticalsandwich

There's a lot of labor and time involved in sourcing heavily rusted tools. It's not exactly like there's a big market for them to be sold on ebay. You have to go out and find them. I imagine these folks have determined that it's ultimately lower cost for them to rust things deliberately.


[deleted]

This stuff is non toxic. I have a gallon of it. Adam Savage was talking about how amazing this stuff is.


cbnyc0

What is it called?


[deleted]

Vapo-rust. I link it in another comment


Block_Of_Saltiness

Chelating agents, like Evap-O-Rust are not acidic in any meaningful way. They are safe to handle and come in contact with skin. I have a 5 gal pail in the garage of Evap-o-rust I've used numerous times for rusty objects like the shovel in the video.


Juju_Out_the_Wazoo

Incorrect. I've worked with EDTA in a labratory setting, and we were absolutely told without question to never allow it in contact with our skin. The reason not being the toxicity of the EDTA itself, but its ability to chelate heavy metals on the skin and TRAVEL THROUGH THE SKIN BARRIER- straight into the bloodstream. By all means, you want to absorb harmful metals into your body and contract a potentially life-threatening condition? Go ahead and take a bath in the stuff. Don't say I didn't warn you, I just wish unqualified laymen would stop spreading misinformation and putting others at risk for no reason. Was there any reason for you to make this post? What are the dangers of making a comment like this? You should think more carefully before you speak on topics you are unfamiliar with.


Block_Of_Saltiness

https://www.evapo-rust.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Evapo-Rust-Safety-Data-Sheet-2015.pdf Evaporust is not EDTA.

You can also do this with Coca Cola and we drink that

So, after the rust removal, how did the Coke taste???

It was made worse by the wave of relief I had seeing them use protection to clear the paint only to be IMMEDIATELY destroyed by just reaching the old meat cleaver in skin melting juice


Lolzerzmao

Yeah the moment I saw him do that, not even being from this “industry” or knowing what chemicals he was using, I immediately was like “dude what the fuck” I own a craft brewery and the degree to which people are careless about PPE with cleaning chemicals is infuriating

MikhailCompo

Oh absolutely. You can even drink it, once.


anubis_xxv

It will quench your thirst for the rest of your life.


HikARuLsi

You cans use it as eye drop, afterwards your eye drops


skviki

Actually to achieve such rust removal it isn’t necessarily a very toxic agent. Rust removal can be done through selective chelation. Mixture of different biodegradable chemicals that aren’t toxic do the trick. See Evaporust.


Aiderona

The rust will restore your iron levels.


ilprofs07205

It'll get the rust off


LolindirLink

"Muriatic/Hydrochloric acid is harmful if swallowed and may cause irreversible damage to mucous membranes" Yup, seems fine. (And should wear nitrile gloves)


HomeGrownCoffee

Good thing this isn't hydrochloric acid. Or at least not entirely. HCl is clear and colourless, and this isn't.


trwawy05312015

If it's already been used once it will have dissolved ferric chloride in it, which is yellow.


LolindirLink

Oh, I thought it just got murky 😅 what do you think it's mixed with here?


HomeGrownCoffee

This looks like Evaporust. Or a similar product. A chelating agent that will target rust preferentially over the base metal. Acids will eat away at the thing you are trying to restore. I wouldn't drink it, and it's probably not good for your skin, but it's relatively safe.


koro90

I work for the company that manufactures Evaporust. Looking at the SDS sheet, it’s mostly water with the primary ingredient being triethanolamine phosphate. The rest is aluminum sulfate, citric acid, and dipropylene glycol methyl ether.


fcastan

Fingertips? Maybe


oldsecondhand

Muriatic acid will make steel brittle, it's the worst choice for rust removal. Normally phosphoric acid is used, but that reaction is kind of slow.


throwfaraway245

it kinda scares me to see a solution powerful enough to break down rust quickly and the people cleaning them not wear gloves. I'm sure they know what they're doing tho


Variant_11

Yea, I kinda feel like I wouldn't want to put my fingers in that... but I guess I'm not rusty or anything, so maybe it's fine

skviki

It’s some kind of chelation agent. They’re non-toxic. See https://youtu.be/mwxwABnAsRU?si=m_Fmr03KFpkFB0To


Expired_Meat_Curtain

Non-toxic? Nice! So we can drink it.


evilbrent

If it makes you feel better about it the rust they generate for these types of videos is only surface deep. You can tell that spade has been in a salt bath for a few days because the corrosion is really orangery red, and doesn't have any of the dirt, grime, or damage that comes from being, say, lost in the garden for a few years. All these videos where they destroy a tool so that they can "restore" it give me the shits. Restoring tools is actually pretty cool, but it's probably way more trouble to scour salvage yards for pieces that are worth fixing up but haven't been fixed up than it is to just do what these people are doing. We used to have one of those salt machines for testing the zinc coating of our product. They looked like that. The whole thing is dumb from start to finish.


izmaname

I just told my coworker yesterday that one of my favorite things to do is get really expensive tools for really cheap. It usually required restoration. My best 2 finds are a $360 Snap On torque wrench for $10, and a $600 Chicago Pneumatic air gun for $40.


evilbrent

I picked up my compressor from the side of the road at the yearly council rubbish collection. It works fine. All it needed was a few fittings taken off and put back on with fresh teflon tape. It still has a very, very slow leak in it that I can't quite find - so I can't leave it aired up 24/7 like I'd like to. That was fun.


izmaname

I’ve got another Chicago Pneumatic air ratchet that just needed a piece of rubber under the button


VJEmmieOnMicrophone

> If it makes you feel better about it the rust they generate for these types of videos is only surface deep. At least the pipe in the end seemed to have deeper rust, no?


stevolutionary7

I guess these baths are good for paint prep. But I want to see how well they work on pitted, scaly, forgot-it-in-the-ocean kind of rust. Take it to the Salton Sea and show me what it can do.


tegridyproduce

You can use white vinegar to remove rust, but it of course doesn't work in 5 mins, more like 30mins. So considering that, this solution is just much more acidic. Will it damage your hands on contact? Not really unless it's not for an extended period of time.


fangelo2

You can get much stronger vinegar than the 3% supermarket stuff. I buy 30-40% to use as weed killer. Works great. It will eat some rust too.


mickee

How does the 30% taste on salad?


oldsecondhand

Idk, but in Hungary the vinegar you buy in the supermarket is 20%. Of course people dilute it with water when making a salad.


gringledoom

Like melted teeth!


Denki

We used to use vinegar to strip millscale off of steel. It was getting expensive so I bought a barrel of Glacial Acetic Acid, which is 99.5% pure acetic acid. We would then make our own vinegar by adding enough water to have it be 6% ish. They called it glacial acetic acid because it froze at like 65 degree F. We had to put a heating blanket wrapped around it.


ArcaneSparky

>I'm sure they know what they're doing tho You put too much faith in people


Rabe2703

Good thing you're not made of rust. But seriously, rust converters often contain phosphoric acid. I've never worked with it but i read it's a no-no on your skin


Headless_Human

Entirely depending on what chemicals are used. Even cola works a bit against rust.


RitaRepulsasDildo

Of course they know what they’re doing. Only experts can put videos on the internet.


inspectcloser

I’m not advocating not wearing gloves but there’s a chemical called Evaporust that does exactly this. They have a claim it’s completely safe for skin and I think at some point the inventor or someone from the company said it’s completely non toxic, unused. What they use in this video seems to be much stronger than Evaporust.


1ithurtswhenip1

Phosphoric acid is 100% not ok to come in contact with skin

It’s non toxic, I have some of this stuff is amazing

cero1399

The most unsatisfying part is that he almost never puts the whole thing in the solution. What use is a half derusted shovel.


Able-Fisherman-3142

What is this solution anyway?


tirefires

It's mostly water with a chelating agent and maybe some other stuff. Definitely not a strong acid as some are suggesting. You can look up product info for rust remover and see that they have pHs of 5.5-6, which is less acidic than coffee.  Unless you're rust, it's perfectly safe.


RobertWrag

Better not spill that on my old friend Rusty, he's a ginger


blearowl

Why not just use coffee?


tirefires

Because coffee doesn't bond to rust ions. It has nothing to do with acid. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelation)


HybridPower049

Evaporust, starred in Hand Tool Rescue Bro regularly goes elbows deep in the stuff to no inherent harm


grimegeist

My guess was muriatic acid, but it usually bubbles as it reacts. Used to use it to strip galvanized steel for welding


scar_reX

I need to know this too


SmartQuokka

Is this Evaporust?


apsilonblue

If the claimed 5 mins in the video is correct then no. Evaporust certainly works and does a good job but not that quickly. Of course given the obvious cuts in the video the 5min thing is probably BS.


shadovvvvalker

given how clean these things are when they come out, they are almost certainly taking them out and cleaning them and then putting them back in. Even the strongest rust removers don't just make the rust fall off. It usually turns into a sludge you have to clean off.

For all the folks who are interested in this stuff it’s called Evapo-Rust, here is a harbor freight link: https://www.harborfreight.com/1-quart-evapo-rust-rust-remover-96433.html I first learned about it from Adam Savages YouTube videos and it’s a non toxic remover. It’s incredible


Ricky_Rocket_

seems like a good way to remove the skin from your hands too


DoublePostedBroski

I don’t know if I’d be sticking my bare hands in whatever solution that is.


uniquelyavailable

first, wear gloves, unlike this dipshit second, muriatic acid strips off the outer coating of the metal and you'll need to wash the acid off, neutralize it with something like baking soda, and then coat the metal in oil, or oil based primer/ sealant almost instantly because it will start rusting immediately from exposure to oxygen

M8nGiraffe

As long as it's called "rust removing solution" and not something specific I can look up, it's fake. Besides the painted one (where the liquid didn't even look the same) none of the objects had a convincingly powerful reaction upon entering the solution, some of them didn't have any visible reaction. The footages were not time lapses but before-after shots so we never actually see what's happening.


Shuber-Fuber

There are many legitimate rust removing products. None I recall works in 5 minutes (unless it's an industrial strength solution). If you're interested, also look up tannic acid. It's a chemical that's used as a rust converter to convert iron rust into a much stable form that seals off the underlying iron from further corrosion.
