Might just be me, but I have a feeling nothing's serious gonna happen to the tools. Maybe a few spots, that'll come off with a good wipe with a clean cloth. But I'm definitely following this one.
I would think, there has to be enough Oxigen as well as electrolytes to start rusting. But we will see in a few days. I have some ideas if salsmurfer alone doesn't do anything.
I am looking forward to the results of this test, and to your thoughts on the Les Stroud tool once it gets some use. Def
I refuse to comment on that as I have been told in the past that the rust I found on my Wingman was imaginary.Def
I can tell you that my Rebar, just through regular use, developed some compleyely cosmetic rust spots on the plier jaws...and nowhere else. I think it makes the tool look (forgive the expression) manlier. It's like my Rebar has Indiana Jones stubble.

If the Vic Rusts, I'm eating its toothpick
You guys know which tools don't have a speck of rust on them? Coghlan or Campy. I'm totally serious.
