question: storing feeler gauges
Last time I did my valves I borrowed my cousin's set. It was rusted to s*** and you could barely make out the numbers. not a fun time.
So how are you supposed to store them? |

Dont buy crappy ones?
 I dont know what to tell ya, mine have never rusted, maybe because I dont clean them and the oil fights off the rust?

All of mine are always coated with a thin film of oil. You could just stay them down with wd 40

huh. I figured it would be more complicated than just taking care of your stuff.. people in my family are religious about tools. Well, thanks

I had a set that rusted pretty much into a solid lump in a few years time. Since then, I wipe mine with grease every few years.

Yes, they are supposed to be stored with a layer of oil. If you bought them new, they likely came that way.
