Dennis,

My must-haves on the Enterprise are:

1. Stubby tool and wrench set —

 The only downside is it’s not stainless steel, so I have to replace it every 
few years.

2. Max Axess Socket (hollow) Wrench Set —

Time for a discussion on our favorite boat tools????  Aside from the usual 
collection of wrenches, screwdrivers, pliers and locking pliers, what do you 
find indispensable for boat work?

Dave said:  "For cutting consider an oscillating tool like a Fein, with a 
circular bimetal blade.   (where has this thing been all my life???)     This 
is the boat repair guy's friend, second only to the angle grinder...."


Yep, a vibrating saw is a valuable tool.  I have the Dremel MultiMax corded 
(the cordless ones don't have the oomph to get the job done).  Can't beat it 
for making plunge cuts and flush cuts.  Also use it with a flexible caulk 
removal blade for removing ports, hardware, etc. that is sealed with silicone, 
polyurethane, polysulfide, etc.

However, my favorite all around go to tool is this:  
<http://www.amazon.com/GearWrench-85035-35-MicroDriver-Set/dp/B0062FSAVI>


For hose clamps, it's a 5/16" nut driver.  Can't imagine why anyone uses a 
screwdriver on a hose clamp if they have a nut driver.


The other tool I use a lot is a 1/4 inch shank cone grinding stone for making 
the chamfer on deck penetrations.


Every boat should have a cheap digital multi-meter on board.

The other electrical "thingie" for cruisers is a polarity tester.  Yeah, your 
breaker panel has a little reverse polarity light but what if it's burned out?  
Get one of these:

What's your "must have" tool?
