You can save your power tools by spraying wd40 into air cooling holes to displace the moisture, then let them sit to dry out for the duration of the winter (you didn't want to work in the winter weather with them anyway did you)? By spring they should all be good to go. The main thing to do is to spray the wd40 liberally in order to keep roller and ball bearings from rusting. The armatures will dry out in a few hours and be as good as new. If you want, you can let them dry for 48 hours; and then turn them plug them in and run them long enough to get them nice and warm to make sure all of the moisture is removed.
