I use Fluid Film on my tools and the underside of my car in the winter. It works well and is non toxic which i suppose is probably good if youre rubbing your hands all over it all day.
There’s a few ways to prevent rust and the way you mentioned is the best way to go if you only want to have to touch the underbody once every 3-4 years. I find after that, it starts flaking off because water/salt somehow gets behind a part of the undercoat through a pin hole in the coverage.
I went a different route. It’s a DIY thing and pretty easy if you have the capability of getting your car on jack stands. When I switch from my winter to summer tire set, I coat the underbody with a product called Fluid Film. I buy the aerosol can version. It goes on as a sticky oil and bubbles when it contacts the surface as it penetrates. You basically spray the entire underbody and haven’t had any rust issues in Michigan.
If you want to go a step further (depending on how long you keep the car) you can do things like this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHMpJebGx_g

The others who have commented already hit the nail on the head, but since I'm currently sitting in a meeting, and a little bored, I'll expand a little bit...
Firstly: that's a great machine you've got there, consider me jealous, especially since you picked it up for cheap. There's a lot of really cool things you can do with a nice pantograph machine. If you're interested in learning a bit more about it, and seeing it in action, I'd highly recommend checking out Stefan Gotteswinter's YouTube channel, he's got several videos related to / utilizing this machine: Here's a list of his videos about the pantograph.
After the EvapoRust treatment, you'll be left with a black film all over everything. I rinse everything off with distilled water, and then scrub / polish all the surfaces with Gray Scotch-Brite Pads. After this I rinse everything again with distilled water, and then follow that up by wiping everything down with acetone*
Edit: Because I forgot to add this in earlier:
* After cleaning with acetone make sure you oil everything shortly thereafter (ideally within minutes) to prevent flash rusting.
Silica packets won't help unless your toolbox or garage/shop are airtight. They're designed to absorb moisture in a small area and, generally, that area is sealed.
I recommend Fluid Film.
