    I have used motor oil, vaseline, spray silicon, and occassionally
    ren. wax to protect my tools. I am never consistent enough, and rust
    does get through. but they all help. If I won't be around for a
    while, I coat exposed parts with vaseline. I keep things covered,
    even just dropping a rag over them help (keeps condensation out of
    contact with the metal). Keeping tools in a tool box or drawers also
    helps a great deal, esp with silicon packs (raid shoe stores for
    those, they're always tossing them out.) 

    My big note of caution - DON'T use WD-40 on tools and leave tools
    out. It will eventually attract water, and rust the heck out of your
    tools! I've made that mistake, huge rust mess. Spray silicon
    lubricant DOES seem to work, though, and smells pleasant, too.
