Put the silica gel packets (which come in the boxes with new electrical products) in your tool box. This works perfectly even in damp climates.
I don't know if you have been having higher then normal humidity where you live but one thing I have done for years that is inexpensive and easy is to wipe down your tools and golf clubs when not in use then spray them with WD-40.On my tools that hang in my shop I just spray them and leave the spray on. The tools that go in my tool boxes I spray and wipe lightly then put them on paper towel liners in drawers.I have my shop in a very old building with no heat unless I'm in it and have my stove burning so my tools are subject to extreme weather conditions. I do the same thing with power tool except being careful not to get any on the motors. I spray the table,blades and fence and mitre guide on my table saw and table,supportpole,gears and spindle on drill press and leave it on. It collect a bit more dust but cleans up easy.
The main ingredient in WD-40 is fish oil so it works great at displacing water and preventing rust. Thank you.
