For those of you who are woodworkers or tool lovers, you can appreciate the beauty of a fine-tuned handplane, or a carefully restored dovetail saw. Unfortunately, not every tool in the shed or toolbox always appears in that ideal state. Years of use, non-use or neglect can turn a once fine tool into an ugly piece of junk that’s incapable of getting the job done.

Here at the Rust Store, we want to help you turn those ugly pieces of junk back into productive and beautiful tools again. That’s why we’re asking you to submit a photo of your tool that has fallen victim to the ravages of rust.

The Rust Store is sponsoring a contest to find the ugliest tool in your shed or toolbox. We want to see your rustiest tool photos. E-mail a photo of your rustiest tool for a chance to win. We’ll select the three winners with the worst cases of rust and send them prizes that will help them restore the beauty and usefulness of their tool.

• First Prize winner receives the Hand Tool Kit ,the Power Tool Kit, and one-gallon of Evapo-Rust. ( a $60.40 value)

• Third Prize Winner receives one-gallon of Evapo-Rust (a $20.95 value)
