I just found my new method. Sounds way cheaper too.

Just buy a box of mothballs and place a few in you tool box they will work to keep rust away from your tools.

Just as a precaution: use mothballs too. If it doesn't help on the rust issue, at least it protects the wool! ::)
awemawson:
Fly Strike is the enemy at the moment. Eggs laid in the wool develop into maggots, maggots initially survive on the lanolin then head south into the flesh :bugeye: Come quite early this year, I suspect due to the mild winter.
Have to spray them all with Crovect at an enormous cost. Had three so far affected who need the Crovect massaging into the affected areas but got to them before they'd entered the flesh - quite satisfying seeing the maggots curl up their toes as you do it, but the sheep looses the wool in the affected area and looks rather bedraggled.
