It seems like all the tap and die sets I've owned over the years end
up dying from rust.

For some reason, those things love to sit around and rust when stored.

What can be put in the case to prevent rusting? I thought about
spraying 'em down with oil, but that's a bit messy, and I suspect it
would evaporate, over time.




Boeshield T-9 spray,or there's a paper that exudes a vapor that prevents
rust,that you can put into the tool container/drawer.

A dip in kerosene is alleged to leave a waxy coating that prevents rust.
