    Corrosion-Inhibiting Storage Bags and Anti-Corrosion Emitters

    My new garage should be weather tight by next wednesday and I'm already planning on moving my feeble excuse for a workshop out of my basement into my new 12'x26' garage. Even with the crap I have to store out there, I should still have plenty of room for a reasonable workshop (at least better than my current 4' by 12' basement setup).

    Anyway, the garage will not be heated and is detached from the house. I plan to insulate and drywall it eventually but not likely before next summer. Lee Valley (we have a retail store here in Halifax) has Corrosion-Inhibiting Storage Bags and Anti-Corrosion Emitters and I'm wondering if anyone knows of a source of larger such bags. I'd like to bag my power tools (bench top grinder and drill press, edge planer, and BT3100 accessories, etc.) for storage during the long periods between my projects. If I can't find the bags with the inhibitors imbedded, perhaps I could find some large 3mil or so thick poly bags and toss emitters inside.

    Any thoughts or sources for larger corrosion-inhibiting bags? It could be months between projects and bagging the tools might be a good solution.

    Thanks,
    Marcel

    Seems cumbersome. Why not just keep all the tools clean and waxed? If I had to do that to store my tools, I would never use them because of the PITA it would be to get them out and put them back, not to mention the expense.

      I'm just looking for options. To me it would be more of a pain in the butt to keep each tool waxed after every use. I do a project only once or twice a year and to me it would be easier to bag and shelve each tool after I'm done with it.

      Personal preference,

        Try a bike shop, they have covers for bikes with the corrosion-inhibiting stuff in them.
