My current RCBS Reloader Special press has lived in a garage since it was bought in 1979. A couple of times a decade, I disassemble the press, clean it, oil it and put it back together. The handle will occasionally start to rust, but I just buff it off with a wire wheel, lightly oil it and everything is good for a few more years.
OT: I have one of those too! use it for decapping currently. That's the one thing that sucker always does and will always do in my garage! The handle will always rust, it needs oil on it constantly. Everything else on it stays in good shape and some steel wool cleans it up nice.
My other gear really doesn't need as much care as that handle. Hornady dies are the other sensitive metal items that occasionally need some oil on them, but nothing like the handle.
