I dive in the same waters you do, only about 500mi north.

Whatever works I guess. I've had the same $5 set of allen keys that I
use for the same purpose for the last 10 yrs. Of course I keep that
stuff in a very small Pelican case. So it's never gotten wet. 

What kind of "gear box" do you have that you're finding wet rusted
wrenches in?
