The ceiling leaked on my bench. I don't have time to explain the entire story but I do need guidance on what I should do with my tools to prevent them from rusting. A few of them are showing spots already.

Spray them with wd40. That should slow down any further rusting. Then dry them the best you can. Use a hair dryer to warm them up so they will dry thoroughly. To remove surface rust I would use very fine steel wool (grade 0000) with some wd40. Fun fact: wd40 was invented as a "water displacement" treatment.

Naval jelly should also cut the light rust and prevent further rust.
