Forster Die Question

WTF are the little yellow plastic squares that are in every Forster die case??? I can't believe this hasn't been asked before but I come up with nothing on google.

Good question. Tagging this cause I'd like to know too.

I think they are there to absorb moisture. Not sure how true that is, but I was told to just leave them in the box with the dies.

Thought I remember reading it somewhere.

It's on the die instructions. "The half-inch yellow square tab is an anti-rust agent. Keep this tab with the dies."

Re: Forster Die Question

They're there to generate more calls to the Forster Customer Service line. It's a conspiracy between the shippers and the phone clerks to create a need for more positions at the company

Actually, they're like everyone said before, rust preventive devices.

Brownell's sells them too. "Rust Blok Tabs". I put one in each of my pistol cases and a couple in my rifle cases.
