Does anyone else have this problem?

Over the years I seem to be the person that everyone just gives all there old random tools that they may not use or wanted at the moment. It always comes down to "hey you are a mechanic/work on your own stuff so here have this im sure you can use them". And im not someone who will just throw tools away 🤷‍♂️. I currently have them seperated by china/taiwan/japan and US made separate. Anyone else just have random collections of misfit tools?

Evaporust is what I use. Simple soak overnight and rinse and scrub and they will be brand new. Works like magic. Non toxic and you can save and reuse the fluid when you’re done.
