I need something to keep the rust at bay on my squares, planes and other tools. I've heard that used motor oil on a rag works about as good as anything, but I'd rather not have to clean it off and reapply it every time I use the tool.
Suggestions? Carmelio Oil?

Johnson Paste wax works for me. Has to be renewed, but not nasty like motor oil.

I've never seen any rust form on any tool I've coated with Boeshield T-9. It eventually dries to a non-oily state. I use Johnson's wax for TS, planer, etc tables.

One of the guys here posted that he kept a fan running sometimes or all the time and that prevented rust in the workshop. I re-did the slope of the yard and dirt against the basement around the shop area -trying to cut back onthe moisture getting into the basement.

Move to Southern California, use the tools frequently.
