how do you take care of your tools? I notice that my tools, such as my
anvil lopper and shears rust easily if they are placed in the garage. I don't
have another place where I can store those tools.
is there a spray that would prevent them from rust?
what would be a solution to prevent rust?
Wipe down with a rag soaked in any sort of NON-DRYING oil, such
as used motor oil. Once every 6 or so months, and you're done.
Drying oils (such as linseed) work too, but the rags present a
spontaneous combustion hazard, since "drying" really means oxidation
(which means heat). Store the rag in a jar if only for neatness' sake.
