Help Rusting Tools
#1
I’m looking for a solution to keeping my tools from rusting. 
A bit of background info. I live in Regina Saskatchewan Canada. We get some cold winter weather and normally a fair bit of snow. My shop is on a farm and heated with Propane. That being said, I don’t have an unlimited fuel source. So I shut the furnace right off when I’m not in the shop. On average it will drop down to 0° to -5° C (32-23° F)in the shop when I’m not there. Then I normally take it up to 20° C (68° F) when I’m at the shop. That gives me a big temp difference. 
Every year around this time of year and closer to spring I notice that my tools are covered in condensation. I’m getting tired of wiping my tools down with a WD-40 soaked rag to keep them from rusting. 

Is there a product that I can put in the drawers of my tool box that will absorb the moisture, like the desiccant packs that come in products you buy. 
I’m looking for something I can buy easily. I have heard possibly kitty litter in a sock. But I’m not sure if that would actually work or not. 

Thanks 
Trevor
