Jules,

As an old aircraft mechanic you had me in deep despair over the care of your tools. Actually my wife does about the same thing. But, hey, if it works for you, more power to you!

The best thing I have found to get pine tar off the tools is paint thinner or turpentine. I have tried Goo Gone and OOPS which are OK but the turpentine is cheap and does a great job. It just smells worse than the other stuff.

I keep everything in a plastic tool box that with a lift out tray and it works great.
