Be careful drinking the Kool-Aid snap-on gets expensive...

Let it sit in evaporust overnite, it will be usable, maybe.
I use a 10mm wrench all the time, so I bought one in Snap On from ebay just because. I'm not compulsed to get the full set either

Warranty it
Not really worried about it. I never really use stubby screwdrivers

I would be tempted to slip the handle into an old leather glove;;
gently clamp it in a vise;
spend about three minutes on cleanup with a utility knife and a small buffer or wire brush;
another two minutes dressing the tip with a file;
put it in the screwdriver drawer;
and
send yourself a bill for $5 @ $1/minute.

You should listen to him, you don't need one until you really need it.
Can't believe I'm the first to ask, so what else was in that box O' rust?

Stick it up on Craig's List with the tags "Vintage" & "Rare." Call it limited edition black first release hard handle with a well loved patina that reflects the history of an important tool from the premier USA tool manufacturer for the last century. Point out that this particular size is extremely hard to find and the person who buys it from you is lucky. Ask $125.00 for it and state the low price is only because you're feeling generous today. Tell them you can't prove it but you were told Jesus built a table with it. And for pete's sake don't leave out the fact that that the shank is cast in gold. It will sell before the day's out, I promise.

If you rub it, a genie will pop out and grant you one wish for the price of three.

I have the Snap On ratcheting screwdriver, it's nothing special. I have a $5 ratcheting screwdriver from Husky I use more often because it's got a handle similar to my Craftsman Pro screwdriver. The ratcheting mechanisms feel similar.
lmao
That's a good idea, I think I'll give that a go. I have a bunch of stubby screwdrivers and not enough file handles. Thanks for the tip.
Very true but I do have other stubbies
I hate gateway drugs
There wa a bunch of rusty taps. I took out some stuff and they have been soaking in pb blaster. I got the tools when I picked up some cheap boxes to clean up and paint. I'll get some pics of the rusty stuff
Lol that's great.

The rest of the rusty tools were junk. The only prize was the snap on screwdriver

Junk? The soldering iron ain't junk, reuse the copper for a heat sink or hammer.
The rest of the "junk" got thrown away. The decent stuff I kept is in the picture
I wish I had a sand blaster to clean everything up
