Use some steel wool or a kitchen scrubber with a little all purpose oil.

Go to your local hardware store and buy "Naval Jelly" . Read the instructions carefully, this is some caustic stuff. Oil the hammer lightly after cleaning, to prevent future rusting.

Answer 3

spray some wd40 on the hammer let it set for about 10 minutes then rub with still wool then wipe with a rag repeat until all the rust is gone

Answer 4

You can either sand it off with 220 sand paper or use rust remover- but if you want to do it quickly be VERY VERY CAREFUL- dip the head in muratic acid for a few seconds-CAUTION--VAPOR LIKE GAS WILL BE PRESENT --LAY TOOL DOWN AND GET AWAY. Clean with wd40 or similar agent-not water..
