Tips on salvaging tools.

Just discovered a pipe burst over my garage. We got the water shut off, but the damage is done. It had to have been going for hours before we realized it. All of my tools are soaked, a lot of them frozen. Most of my wood survived, but I’m concerned about the tools. My table saw, miter saw, and belt sander were in the direct path. Most of of my small power tools were okay, but pretty much all of my hand tools were submerged (did I mention there was A LOT of water).

What are your best tips to salvage tools after prolonged exposure? Anything special besides WD-40 and some TLC?
