I just had to reply, simply to appreciate your precision in specifying a three toed sloth, rather than the faster two toed variety.

Rusty Chisels |

I don't know if everyone has a woobie, but they are a venerable old shop rag semi soaked in whatever oil you embrace for hand tools. I like Camellia oil. I store my better tools (those I fret over if they rust) inside slightly oiled tube socks I buy on the cheap at flea markets for pennies a pair. I also keep those better tools inside a wooden tool chest. I check them twice a year and give them a light rub to re-oil them, and back they go. I also rub them well after use, and return them immediately to their sock. I am in SW Ohio, and we have wicked fluctuating humidity levels here throughout the year, sometimes into the high 90% range.
The only ones where I couldn't keep the rust off were the LN socket chisels, but I don't have any of them anymore. Not sure why, others don't seem to have a problem with them, but I sure did. For reference I have a few Blue Spruce, and LV PM-V11 chisels, and by far they are almost rust proof. YMMV
