I don't worry about my half a dozen old empty very rusty tool boxes I
bought at Goodwill years ago.In about a week or so when I go to the
Animal Health Products store for a big bag of Pro Pac dog food, I will
stop off at the seed and feed store (ergo the seed and feed store is on
the way to the Animal Health Products store, I don't see any reason to
burn gas making two trips) for some molasses.I will mix molasses with
water in a big old plastic tub and I will see if that will derust my
very rusty tool boxes.Doggy isn't worried about any tool boxes, why
should I be worried?

Phosphoric acid may be used as a "rust converter", by direct application to rusted iron, steel tools, or surfaces. The phosphoric acid converts reddish-brown iron(III) oxide, Fe2O3 (rust) to black ferric phosphate, FePO4.

"Rust converter" is sometimes a greenish liquid suitable for dipping (in the same sort of acid bath as is used for pickling metal), but it is more often formulated as a gel, commonly called naval jelly. It is sometimes sold under other names, such as "rust remover" or "rust killer". As a thick gel, it may be applied to sloping, vertical, or even overhead surfaces.

After treatment, the black ferric-phosphate coating can be scrubbed
off, leaving a fresh metal surface. Multiple applications of phosphoric
acid may be required to remove all rust. The black phosphate coating
can also be left in place, where it will provide moderate further
corrosion resistance (such protection is also provided by the
superficially similar Parkerizing and blued electrochemical conversion
coating processes).http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphoric_acid
