Large Scale Rust Prevention

>Has anybody here used the "Bullfrog Rust Blocker Sheild/Strips" products and if so what is your opinion of them. The reason I'm asking is that I'm looking for a product to place in my tool cabinet's and tool drawers that will help keep rust at bay on those all to frequent occasions when I get in a hurry and forget to clean and oil my tools after use. Also how do the above products compare with the rust preventative paper sold by Lie-Nielsen?
Thanks,
A.B.

I bought a bunch off the Bull Frog pads for use in the tool drawers.
Seems to have stopped the rusting now for a few years.

Usually every other year.

They are for a closed drawer or cabinet and emit some chemical that prevents rust.
