Does anybody use or recommend a good rust inhibitor/blocker that you would use in a Garage Tool Chest to stop metal tools from gathering rust?
I have looked at some of the Bull Frog Rust Inhibitor Strips but have no idea if they work or are a panacea? I really need some real life experience here please? Some of these products are cheap and I could see money going to waste very quickly on chocholate teapot sprays.
What I really wanted was something like a tool wipe product that would leave a coating on each tool as you clean it down with the wipe (yes I clean the tools). I had considered the well tried & tested (just don't clean them) route but this can lead to nasty surprised in a mushroom/creme coloured interior. So I really am looking at the "clean & protect route"
I am liking the idea of an aerosol type product combined with a wipe/cloth but will take sensible suggestions. Wrapping them in grease proof paper is not the route I wish to go down as I do like to be abe to see what tool is what & where.
I do use a garage de-humidifier.
We are not talking rust garnered through biblical flooding here. This is more the very fine surface rust that can accumulate through normal climate changes in a detached (dry) Domestic Garage.
