Some are possibly stainless steel, and can be cleaned and somewhat buffed up with a dremel type tool and buffer wheels, with compound on them. do not get agressive. If some are steel with chrome plating, they should be treated to toothpaste and brushing, rinse well and brush, dried, then the exposed steel backing should be painted with krylon rust preventing paint to preserve the non-exposed surfaces. If chrome is comming off of them, the only way to repair is to have tripple chrome plate put on professionally (pricy). Chrome does not stick to steel well at all, but it sticks to nickel, nickel does not stick to steel but it sticks to copper, copper sticks to both steel and nickel. So it is cleaned, to steel copper plated, nickel plated, then chromed. That is why Quality hand tools with some wear on them show coppery undertones in the edges of the wear.
