Long Term Storage for Hand Tools

[Steve Boring]

Thank you to everyone for the great suggestions. I think I'm going to wipe everything down with oil, wrap it in Uniwrap, then put it in weather tight boxes. I'll throw some desiccant packs and ZeRust in there too. Hopefully between all of that, the tools will come back in good shape.
