How to Fix Rusty Tools and Equipment with Rust Converter
If you work in the green or landscape industry, on a farm, or consider yourself an outdoor pro, then you’ve experienced rust. Leave a shovel in damp soil overnight or park a mower where condensation collects, and sooner or later you’ll see rust start to form.
The good news? Rust doesn’t mean your tools are junk.
With the right products, you can stop corrosion, restore equipment, and extend the life of your tools for years. Gemplers Rust Converter is a simple solution to do just that. This innovative product turns rust into a stable, paintable surface without any complicated prep or application.
What Is Rust Converter?
Gemplers Rust Converter is a liquid treatment that chemically reacts with rust (iron oxide) and converts it into a stable protective coating.
Instead of removing every trace of rust by sanding or grinding, Gemplers Rust Converter transforms the rust to prevent further corrosion.
Use rust converter to restore:
-
Landscaping tools
-
Farm equipment
-
Trailers and utility racks
-
Steel fencing and gates
-
Shop tools
-
Outdoor equipment exposed to weather

Why Does Rust Form on Tools and Equipment?
Rust forms when iron, oxygen, and moisture react together. Outdoor professionals deal with these conditions daily:
-
Wet soil
-
Irrigation water
-
Morning dew and humidity
-
Fertilizers and chemicals
-
Temperature swings causing condensation
-
Equipment stored in sheds or trucks
Over time, rust can weaken metal parts, making them harder to use and prone to instability.

How to Fix Rusty Tools with Gemplers Rust Converter
Restoring rusted tools does not take hours in the shop. With the right product, the process is straightforward.
Step 1: Remove Loose Rust and Dirt
Start by brushing away loose rust, dirt, and flaking paint using a wire brush or scraper. You don't need to remove every bit of rust—just the loose material.
This helps the rust converter bond to the metal surface.
Step 2: Apply Rust Converter
Brush or spray Gemplers Rust Converter directly onto the rusted metal.
The formula penetrates the rust and begins a chemical reaction that converts iron oxide into a stable black protective coating.
Step 3: Let It Cure
As the rust converter dries, you'll see the metal surface turn dark. This means the rust is being neutralized.
After curing, the surface can be left as-is or painted for additional protection.
Step 4: Put Your Equipment Back to Work
Once cured, the treated metal is protected from further corrosion and ready to handle the job again.
No sandblasting. No complicated prep.
Just clean, apply, and convert.
