Stan, I'm very sorry for your loss. That must've been very hard.
One thing I have been experimenting with for rust reduction/prevention is wiping clear finishes on my metal tools. So far, a thin, well-rubbed-in coat of wipe on poly seems to last 6-8 months - which is better than I get from waxing. You might tryy it on a chisel or two and see if it helps.
Best of luck to you. I hope this all gets better, soon.
Fred
