I have such an arrangement. My comment? No problem. The humidity levels
in any workshop are not stable, anyway. In other words, when it rains,
(unless the shop is air conditioned), the humidity level inside the garage
will match that outside, which is probably close to 100 percent. In other
words, as long as the car isn't dripping directly on the tools, the only
tools that would be affected would probably already rusted.

And, I have the solution. Johnson's Paste Wax.



My experience is pretty much the same. I have a two car garage where I normally
park one car. If I wash the car, I dry it before I park it. If it's raining,
so be it... it goes in wet. I've had very little rusting of my tools in the
garage. In fact, the last time I had to clean rust off the table saw's top, it
was because I had dripped sweat on it.

I use Johnson's paste wax on my tools too.

FWIW, I live in North Carolina where there is plenty of heat and humidity. As I
write this, I've got an HVAC crew installing a new heat pump for my house and
they're going to add a register in the garage for me to help cool it. Film at
11....
