Ah, one of the benefits we enjoy down here in New Mexico. The humidity
is so low, rust is never a problem.

My father-in-law lived in this house for 50+ years. After he died, as I
was going through his old tools, I was amazed to see how well preserved
they were in his garage.

Back in New Jersey, I used silica, rust preventors, WD40 ... anything I
could get my hands on to combat the onset of rust.

And usually, I would lose the battle.

How do you handle the problem of rust? If I pull my car into the garage
after it has been out in the rain, or covered with snow and salt, it's
going to really do a number on my tools. Not only my table saw, jointer,
etc, but also the smaller hand tools like chisels and planes. Just
putting a dehumidifier isn't going to do much good with a wet car right
next to everything.

Thanks
