The same said neighbor also picked up some cheap sockets for me and strung them on uncoiled wire hangers. Great way to organize then on the cheap. |
Maybe we have an explanation for this....

Any tool worth buying is worth storing properly.
JP clued me in that a piece of camphor in your tool chest will keep rust away.
If you are buying, or already possess rustable tools (hello craftsman) you may want a piece or 2.
I haven't seen any 'new' rust on any of my tools since I spread some around, not even on the weirdo pieces that I seldom, if ever, use.
Of course, I clean my tools after every use and return them to their spots, and that does wonders for keeping them in good shape.
Agree 100% with kmaysob... ditch the molded plastic. those things suck.
