I probably have a 500+ pounds of hand tools.
They all have rust, from light to severe
I've been cleaning them up with steel wool,
which works great, but time consuming.
Now I have access to a bench grinder with a wire wheel,
which is much faster and does a better job.
How should I treat the tools after they are cleaned to prevent rusting in the future?
I'm basically a field mechanic, (really a parts changer, not a real mechanic, lol).
My tools now live in simi-water-proof hand boxes, but here in Alaska there is a lot of snow and rain.
The tools even get frosty, in the box, frost turns to water, rust.
As a luber at work right now, I have access to tons of different oils.
I know that they will get rusty again, but I'd like to hold it off as long as possible.
Thanks!
