Has anyone tried this method of rust removal using a car battery charger & if so are the results worth the efforts?

I have not tried the method myself but fellow forum member wristpin has achieved some good results with it and he will no doubt chip in to this thread.

Thanks wristpin again for passing on your knowledge, I will have a go at this over the summer months as the results do luck good

It's widely used (and liked) amongst the old woodworking tool types.

There are faster methods, but electrolysis is pretty much guaranteed to do no damage.
