I've had good luck (so far) with "Bullfrog" VCI that I found at Highland
Hardware in Atlanta. The VCI emits some sort of gas that prevents rust quite
well. The only thing is that you must have the tools in a confined space for
it to work. I use mine in a toolbox but drawers and other enclosed spaces
will work fine.

It's pretty reasonable - about $7 for 12 emitters (they are small pieces of
foam with an adhesive back). They last for about a year. It has no affect on
the finish on wood or other non-metal surfaces.

Best,

Brian (in very humid North Florida).
