Something else that works well for that is, of all things, bees wax. Since it's not a man made product, it doesn't have some of the adverse affects a man made product can. The big thing is to keep moisture from getting to your tools since that is bare metal's biggest enemy.
Now, getting back to "go to" tools, one I should have added to my previous post is the ever useful Dremel Tool. With some of the things now available for one, it's more and more a builder's friend.
