Default Desiccants?

I'm wondering what, if any, desiccants people use around their tools
and in their tool boxes and stuff like that. Sure, it's prudent to oil
or wax tools, but a desiccant should also help.

Any suggestions for a desiccant natural or otherwise?


I was just reading (and I forget where...) that some kitty litter is
actually a dessicant. Check the brand, but the picture that was with
the article was the "clumping" kind of kitty litter. I know not if
that is the difference between bentonite and dessicant kitty litter.

If it is a dessicant, you should be able to "recycle" it by placing
in an oven for a bit. I don't know if a microwave will allow the
humidity to escape or not, but a regular old-school oven should have a
vent.

Best of luck!
