Chemical strippers

Has anyone tried these chemical strippers where you soak small parts in a bucket to remove rust?

I've used Evapo Rust and Safestrustremover, both work the same and work good. Soak overnight, wire brush & rinse worked good for me. Might need to repeat. After they turn really dark they're pretty much spent.

Heavy Duty oven cleaner takes it down to bare metal.  My brother uses it in restoring old tractors.  Works better than expensive Ospho.
