I had them out for 26 hours, nothing, no rust, no spotting, nada! and it rained pretty good here, off and on.
When I get a new tool, I do wipe them down with Break Free CLP, maybe that
helps. and it was chilly out, could have slowed things down.
I'm glad I did it, I feel safer, more confident I can forget, drop a tool for a day or so and not have to worry much.
Now on to the next test!!
