Never, and I mean NEVER-EVER put 'em away wet !!!
Always have 'em gently patted with a big soft fluffy towel,
then blown dried........

I have a set of metric and standard sockets that are scratch proof cores (some kind of tough plastic) but chrome outers... work really good... get them through Snap-on or Mac Tools... each socket has a torque range...

Change out all your nuts & bolts to Alloy Boltz Polished Stainless Steel hardware. Engine & Trans kit is about $110.
