Unfortunately, I find it necessary to pack up/store the majority of my shop tools.The "big iron" items are pretty well taken care of (Thanks again, Leon!!!!), but it is the successful, relatively long term (year or two) storage of the smaller, boxed items, like router bits, metal hand tools, squares, planes, blades, chisels, etc. that I'm interested in.Besides the usual desiccants, etc ... has anyone had any _firsthand_ experience/success with the impregnated rust/corrosion inhibitors in a form that you can use in boxes to alleviate rusting, similar to these?: well did they work? How much do you need? Is there something, or a combination of methods, that works better? Do they work better in airtight containers? What you would have done different, etc ...I figure some of you guys who went through Katrina/Rita on the Gulf Coast may have "BTDT", so thanks in advance for any _firsthand_ experience in long term (one to two year) storing of items like these.

Got many hits, wouldn't use the stuff on a bet, so didn't pursue it.

Thanks, I've tried both and both get a ton of hits. I guess it depends on whether you feel its a derivative of gasoLINE, or keroSENE.

Well, gee, let's recap...

I provided you two links to what you were looking for, at least one of those has another link boldly shown on the page to another item you only belatedly indicated you were interested in...

Doesn't seem like my contributions were particularly shabby at all to me...
