I screwed up when I left the lid off a container of HCl setting on my
shop bench. Two days later when I went back in the shop the fumes had
caused every iron tool hanging on the pegboard to have a film of rust
similar to your toolbox. HCl never comes inside any more.


The pool acid can narly up the metal in a pool pump enclosure (closet)

Even with the cap on, acid off gases out of plastic jugs -- rust.
