How do these nuts and locks stand up to salt, water and cold?

So far so good. I'm very happy with them and they still look like new. That's after 2 snowstorms.

The lug nuts took 2 years to develop surface rust. I live in Chicago area so it gets pretty cold, wheels are exposed to heavy road salt and moisture. I got set of Mag lug nuts with Tire Rack wheels and they only lasted 6 months before developing surface rust. I also used Dorman lug nuts, lasted 1 season (used with snow tires) and I had to use air hammer to chisel out what was remaining on the wheels.

The composition is plastic. It has to get really, really, really cold for plastic to freeze and become brittle. Each bin is only a little bigger than a paper grocery bag and unless you put bricks or steel weights in the bins, they should not be stressed when being lifted (frozen or not).

Fine. 3 winters and still looks new. Wiring somewhat protected with plastic back enclosure. Terminals all brass plated, so better than average construction for salt

I'm not sure if that's necessary. I have had the same bag for years and use the nuts in the small bags for laundry. Since they are kept in the basement with the laundry machines, they stay fairly cool. I've never had an issue with them going bad.

Yes, I believe these could do the trick. They are heavy duty, pretty much like the ones found back in the seventies. I use mine for kayak fishing, so they are in the FL heat, salt, humidity. They show no signs of warping, fading, cracking. Much better than you will find at dollar stores, wal-mart, target or anywhere else.

I have them on a wardrobe rolling rack which is in a storage unit much like a shed; can be damp, hot, and cold. They have not rusted at all and have been in there for several years.

They freeze overnight - I use them to keep fish cold on a cooler. They work great staying frozen most of the next day of kept in a cooler.

You can use the same wet nuts. I think the instructions to let them dry are mostly so people don't let them get moldy.

They are dry, no need to freeze, and keep a very long time. Store them carefully because they are brittle and over time some may crack. They are still useable, but your summer rolls won't come out as pretty

They seem solid so far, though I use mostly only two of them for solid food so I don't know how they hold when it comes to contact with water and rust. Mine don't have sharp edges, and the handle doesn't bend when scooping food.

I store in places such as continually in cars in Ohio and northern Michigan winters. When they reach the 5 year mark i buy more product as a primary emergency, then I move the older ones to freezers and use them there as cold packs or to help keep the fridge/freezers cool during power outages. In the freezer they do freeze up hard as a rock. None have ruptured ever in all conditions (unlike water bottles, water jugs and other things I have tried to keep water in my car during all seasons (or stored in my freezers). Being ultra-careful I do store them in Ziplock bags just in case. Highly recommend.

Mine went threw a rough winter of plowing and spreading salt. Still work great. Had them under water once launching a boat they were dry and no water made it inside the housing. Very very bright, to the point they hurt our eyes to look at them. For the price you can't beat them

My husband had had these for over a year. They still look brand new. I wash them in cold water turned inside out.

You should contact the seller. In my experience, raw nuts are never salted.

I don't recall any specific instructions but I refrigerate all my nuts especially if the are raw...Mine are refrigerated...freezer is even better.

They are shelf stable. I kept them in the box they were shipped in because they are in liquid and don't stack well. They are simple to heat up, basically blanch in boiling water to heat them up. They are fragile so the less handling the better.
