Rust prevention
For keeping tools in enclosed spaces free of rust, WoodRiver has released a rechargeable desiccant bag. The bag is filled with 400 grams of silica gel crystals that can absorb up to 140 grams of ambient moisture. When the crystals are fully saturated, the blue window on the bag will turn pink. Simply microwave the bag to recharge it.
