OK all... For all of you who are doing or going to be starting a revamp of your Kat and want to use the standard bits but they have gone rusty, I was given this by my neighbour. You can reuse it, and you just put it in a container, put your bits in, leave them in for 24hrs and - way hay! - no more rust.
It says that it's an iron-oxide-specific chelating agent, not an acid or alkali (apparently that's a good thing?)
I've done a test with a old very rusty banjo bolt and here are some pics.

It's better than the normal rust remover which turns it all black

no hard work just drop it in leave it for 24hrs comes out nice and clean, ideal for those projects where you are using 30+ year old bits

Yes, but as it can be reused not that pricy
