i used a rock tumbler/ or a vibrating polisher like for gun brass it is a tub that is filled with tumbling media ( crused walnut shells) that you buy and it does a great job on all rusty sockets/wrenches and will not scrach them

I would first use a fine wire brush to remove the surface rust, then follow with steel wool . I have heard people use a product called navel jelly, but I have never tried it.

Depending on the degree, I've seen the oily sand method and Naval Jelly does a good job of dissolving rust enabling one to wash it off.

I've always used light motor oil and find sand paper growing up on a farm.
Seemed to do the trick.
*edit*
Seems the vote aroudn the office from the retired Military guys is overwhelming. They all say Naval Jelly. You just have to be carefull using it.

A wire wheel on a grinder works well, followed by a wipe down of WD-40. don't put to much on as you need to remove any access.
