Default Storage solutions?

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?:

How 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.


Cosmoline?
