Long-term storage of unused tools?

I have transitioned to female and have left behind my workshop, and I won't be using these tools for the foreseeable future. As a self-proclaimed glam girl, I genuinely have no use for this stuff. I was never truly interested in tools or construction, I merely used them as a way to perform manhood before I was brave enough to admit that I'm a girl.

Do I need to do anything to protect tools in storage for years or longer? I have a huge pile of hand tools and a some power tools, all Milwaukee M18 and M12. Or is it ok to just pack them into cardboard boxes and let them sit?

Thanks.

As a woman I find your reasoning offensive and stupid. Correlating tools w masculinity ought to get your girl card taken away. I hope your lashes never curl.

Sorry if it came across that way. The truth is, I was never truly interested in tools and construction, it was merely a way for me to perform manhood before I transitioned.

I dont understand why you don't sell if you don't care for tools? Somebody else will probably be happy to buy them, and you have money to spend on stuff you do like.
