How to remove rust from screwdriver bits

Hey my most used bits are getting rusty (maybe from sweat or humidity? Idk), i live in a really humid area and would love some tips to remove the rust/prevent the bits from rusting. (Also i would think they are anti-rust?)

Simple. Rub with steel wool to clean off rust and then cover with a very thin film of fine machine oil like sewing machine oil. Wipe the oil off with a clean dry cotton cloth or tissues. Enough oil will remain on the bits to prevent rust
