Though rust never sleeps, you can successfully keep it at bay. Available in two sizes, these dehumidifiers absorb moisture from the air, preventing rust and mildew.

Dry the silica gel dehumidifier in an oven; once cooled, it's ready to absorb moisture again, indefinitely.
For a large cabinet, the 750g steel canister is the better choice, since it dehumidifies as much as 57 cu.ft. compared with 3 cu.ft. for the small tin, which suits a drawer or toolbox instead.
It's best avoided; wooden handles should retain some moisture, so keep the dehumidifier away from them and reserve it for bare metal tools and surfaces.
