I would try a paint STRIPPER rather than thinner. May also need a good wire brush. I spray my bits with a light coat of WD-40 if I don't think I will be using them for an extended period of time.
you didnt meantion that this stuff is lethal and when make contact with the skin is sting
" well i got stink and my tool are DESTORYED by this chemicial it ate them the paint right down to the protecting coating of the paint "
so................what happen last week i call HD Corp and i made another compliant not from the chemicial but the ass**** sold me the wrong paint but overal i came out good " they mail me a $100 GC " and a few day ago i got a new Husky tool set and i'm happy but sad because i have that other tool set for 8yrs and it was my very 1th tool set so this make this my 2nd tool set and i going to do nothing " no paint "
Harold, Sorry about the sting and your tools. If it will strip paint, it will remove the natural oils from your skin, burn in a cut, and being a remover, will also attack the original paint. Glad you are happy with the gifts you got from the company.

I never stop being amazed by some people. I wonder if we were all to badger HD repeatedly if we would get a gift certificate also? I could use some new tools and a hundred bucks.
Laquer Thinner would have been my first lethal-chemical-of-choice, just for future reference.
The Dykem remover I recommended is mostly aerosolized MEK with some Toluene. I can only imagine what this nut job would have done with that. Used the rest of the can for bathroom air freshener and complained that he's blind now? I take a more Darwinian approach to home improvements. If you got hurt in the process, you didn't deserve that new tile floor or door or whatever.
There are some specialized grafitti removers that probably would have done the job with spraypaint without the damaging effects on the underlying surfaces.
Why would anyone want to paint their tools anyhow?
His dog told him to go to HD and buy paint to paint tools.
