Rusting on my impact sockets

[Poor Panda]

My impact sockets are new, but there are slight rust and I want to remove this rust. How could I do that?

oil + steel wool

Use steel brush to remove it. It might scratch the surface of sockets but it should be fine.

WD40 and sand paper work well for me.

I might want to try to use vinegar as I watch some videos are doing this to remove the rust.

vinegar or other chemical could damage the black oxide coating. No, it would damage it.
