Coxing Q&A

Question of the Day

How do you keep your wrenches and pliers from going all rusty? My team goes out on the water year round, rain or shine, in a salt water marina. My tools tend to rust within a season, if not sooner which is quite inconvenient because then I’m constantly purchasing new tools.

Well, first suggestion is an obvious one – don’t get them wet. Definitely considerĀ getting a waterproof bag (likeĀ this one) to put your tools in so they don’t get wet if you plan on carrying them on the water with you. If they do get wet, wash them off with regular water when you get back on land and make sure they’re dry before you put them away.
