Come on someone else must have one

No picture, but a small Vise-Grip served as the door handle on my old truck for a long time - does that count?  Probably not, as it's not very unusual.

My friend bought an old tow truck years ago and had it for months. I went over to help him wire up the light bar and discovered 6 vice-grips holding the body on the truck....
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.

Taking it too far? A nice 6" No. 10 (1926-1940)

Maybe a just little too far.  It did seem like a good idea so I gave it a try with my No. 10.   The yogurt must have eaten away at the wrench during the photo shoot because even though I had washed it thoroughly with hot soapy water beforehand, the first bite tasted exactly like wrench and nothing like yogurt.  Didn't try for a second bite.  Maybe you have stumbled upon a new rust removal system. I'll give it a try.... there's plenty of rusty stuff around here to test it on!

Rusty forsees a sudden inexplicable shortage of pomegranate yogurt....

About 30 minutes left of a short one hour test.  Don't want to risk eating through the whole wrench!

Yogurt trial #1 had little to no effect on the wrench.  Back to the old drawing board!
