    For rust protection light motor oil works better than things like
    WD40, a real thin film works wonders and doesn't feel greasy or oily.
    The smell can be a bit objectionable, but I find the trade off smell
    vs lack of rust is in my favour. 

    Just a note, DON'T use used oil, and motor oil isn't that good for
    you, so try not to get it on areas of the tool that you handle often,
    just the working surface is really enough. 

    Oh yeah, tools that see regular use rust less than the ones that
    only get used once in while! 

Cheers, Thomas.
