    A light oil coat is not thick enough to protect steel in storage.
    Special protective greases are used by manufacturers to ship tools,
    but a heavy weight automotive engine oil will work. On flat surfaces,
    put paper over the oil covered surface, it helps to hold the oil in
    place. Smaller tools can be wrapped in oil soaked paper. As Estavillo
    mentioned, do not store any corrosive chemicals near your tools. I
    would not recommend, however, that you store corrosive or volatile
    chemicals in a different area. Unless you have a fireproof cabinet to
    store them in, do not keep your chemicals, it's not worth the risk of
    fire or corrosion.
