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?

Ordinary white lithium grease---you can get a tub of it cheap at any
auto parts store or at Wally World, etc. Put it on a rag and wipe the
tools with a light coating. a one pound tub will last many seasons.

BTW, turpentine is excellent for removing sap from loppers, pruners,
etc.
