In some cases yes. If the stainless steel was not passified (removing iron particles left on stainless steel by contact with tool steel dies) with nitric or sulfuric acid then yes.

Stainless steel tools do not get rusty, even when exposed to high humidity. Metal bar tool can oxidize and loose their strength.
MIU is a good set to have. William-Sonoma also makes a very reputable stainless steel bar tool set.
sorta a little bit i would say . but it holds an edge great and the rust is not a giant amount because it is a semi stainless steel just barley not stainless.
Typically, no. Stainless steel is a very weak steel compared to other types. Your cheaper socket wrenches will typically be made out of chrome-vanadium. Higher-end models will use some form of tool steel.
Some stainless steel is non magnetic, like the 300 series which contains a good bit of nickel which makes this series non-magnetic, but the 400 series does not have nickel and are thus magnetic, so you cannot differentiate between this series of stainless and regular carbon steel using a magnet. If the sample in question rusts easily, then it's probably regular carbon steel, though there are some high carbon steels like D2 tool steel for example, which have a high enough percentage of chromium (D2 has 11% to 13% generally) which make them 'almost' stainless and thus they don't rust as easily as a high carbon steel like O1, which does not have enough chromium (.50%) too inhibit oxidation and thus it rusts quite easily. The only other means to tell whether you have stainless steel or regular carbon steel would be by performing a spark test which could tell you whether you have stainless or regular carbon steel or sending a sample out for metallurgical analysis.
I have 3 of them and they all consist of ONE part, a 6" long stainless steel 'pencil'.
