When I bought myself a new car earlier this year the salesman tried and tried to sell me an electronic anti-rust device. I was suspicious of how well it worked ( if at all ) so I declined. I have since heard various reports claiming they're wonderful to totally useless. Supposing they do work, has anyone here tried one on a machine tool like their lathe or mill ? Any good ?

The only electronic anti-rust system that I know of is cathodic protection used on pipelines, with an applied voltage. Works, but if misused can destroy the pipeline, so it has to be monitored. This would only be applicable with large objects immersed in water or soil.
I can't imagine anything that would work on a car.

If you like the idea of electronic anti-rust, you should also check out the Harbor Freight catalog. They have a clip-on magnet for your fuel line that "breaks up clumps of hydrocarbon molecules" and improves combustion.
Also, I can give you a bargain price on the Golden Gate Bridge.
Wow, I had no idea a weak magnetic field would catalyze the cracking process, and at STP no less! Anyone want some candles turned into gasoline? ;^)
