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.

Contct a bit manufacturer or a saw sharpening service and find out
what they use for the soft plastic protective coating.

My sharpening service has a dip tank.

Maybe you could contract with a local source to dip your stuff.
