  1. Clean up the steel with a wire brush on a grinder and coat it with a good industrial thick grease. You won't have anymore rust problems. This works great I can attest, I live in Alberta. I'd rather have a greasy frame over a rusty rotted one.

  2. "This wrench is fatter, I better not"
    Does it anyway and gets it stuck
    "Why Did I Do That"
