I have 625 tools of a certain kind. If I sell one per week, that means

They are made of steel and have dark finish (phosphate), but are not painted.
I am going to store them outdoors, in three rectangular plastic bins
with covers that snap over them, so that rain water does not
penetrate.
In addition, I placed desiccant bags in those bins.
Would you say that it is sufficient to prevent them from rusting for
12 years.
Thanks

Covers that snap on are far from having a hermetic seal. You would
have a better chance if you sealed the plastic boxes with EB green
tape.
