A way I have used that really does work, fill a large bucket about 2/3-3/4 full with clean sand and pour enough used motor oil into the sand, mix it well, to cover every grain. Plunge the tool into this oil/sand mix after use and the tool will become clean and oil coated to retard oxidation. I've used it on my axes since most of the wood i cut is pitchy and pitch helps rust, the oil/sand cleans them good and keeps them bright.
Best thing, the oil/sand mix doesn't ever wear out.
