I keep steel wool in my tool chest for refinishing items ... when I read your tip about keeping batteries in there, I thought I'd drop a note to warn your readers not to store steel wool and batteries in the same area of the tool box: if steel wool touches the batteries' poles, sparks can result. This is a tip I learned while camping - an easy way to start a campfire, but not so handy to have happen in the toolbox! - SEarthman
Editor's Note: Good point. Best to tape the ends of the batteries and keep them in a bag so they can't come in contact with the steel wool or other metal.
