Default Tool Box on board .. what goes in the box

@trndny08:

If you carry a tool box, could you tell what tools go in the box.



Which tool box? There's the plumbing tool box, the sailmaker's tool box,
the electrical/electronics tool box, the carpenter's tool box, the diesel
tool box, and one that appeared left by someone who once was hired to
work on the boat but we can't find him and his tools are too good to toss
tool box.

Contents vary, of course. The electrical tool box doesn't have any sail
cloth or needles in it. Trying to carry it all in one tool box would be
absurd. The box would be too big to stuff into the crannies and too hard
to find that one hooked needle you need buried in the pipe wrenches and
electrical wiring tools. It's much better to use small tool boxes that
stow much easier in available space and are much easier to handle in the
confined spaces. Besides, I don't want ANY of his wrenches he's used on
the head anywhere NEAR my digital multimeters! PU!
