30% Muriatic acid and 70% water. Add the acid to the water... not water to the acid.
Let tools sit in it for about 20-25 minutes pull them out and if they need more time, do it for another 10 minutes.
Vinegar probably works pretty welll but will take longer.
We cleaned out some carbon steel HPU manifolds, nipples, plugs, etc... and they came out shiny.
After you finish with acid, vinegar, etc... whatever you use... a light coat of some type of oil will be needed. They will flash rust to some degree if not protected with something.
