I happened across an estate sale in my neighborhood and picked up a large number of tools like a very nice cross slide table with a tilting vise ($35), a couple of other machine vises ($3) and several large old steel C-Clamps ($3). All of these tools have no rust at all but there is old oil/grease buildup on them. I'd like to clean all of them and grease them up before I put them to use. My question is, what is the best way to clean the old grease/oil from these tools? I was thinking of soaking them in a (solution?) before drying them and lubricating. What are your recommendations of what to soak them in? (hopefully other than gasoline) Thanks for any suggestions you have.
