My Tool is Rusty

Made you look. Now that I have your attention...

ALL my tools are rusty. Literally. I was fiddling around under the seat to hook up my laptop and change maps, when I finally got around to opening the tool kit. What's the best way to deal with rusty tools and keep them from rusting again in the future?

Use It he he but seriously........
Clean them up, if they are not too rusty clean, dry and smear a light coating of vasaline. If you have really bad case use a mild caustic solution to clean a treat with rust converter then smear with vasaline

My set is seven years old and still shiney, I removed them the same day that I bought the bike and they have never been back on the bike.

WD-40 has a new product out just for this problem. WD-40 rust soak
You soak the item in it and the rust is removed . no bad odor ,fumes ,no castic solutions. safe to use. I just saw it on a car rebuild show,I have not tried it myself yet.

Auto parts stores sell varying types of rust converters.
