While this will no doubt start a war (which I'll win again!), I thought it
would be interesting to discuss the best power tools aboard and kept in the
dockbox....

MUST be kept Aboard....
Makita drill...bullet proof
AC Skil dril....Best for bigger jobs
RotoZip kit....rarely used, but great when it's needed!
Weller soldering iron
B&D Cordless powerdriver with flex head...used all the time and a cheap
disposable item.

Living happily Ashore in the box....
B&D Grinder/polisher....the best!
Porter Cable profile sander...a great tool!
Husky Powerwasher...have yet to use
Firestorm circular saw....have yet to use-use the yard's table saw
Bosch Jig Saw....rarely used

Anything else I need can usually be borrowed from the yard's shop.

Give it up Nutsy,

Your power tool list aboard speaks volumes about what kind of sailor
you are. You've confirmed everything the group has be alway said about
you
It is no wonder you don't sail very far. YOU DON"T HAVE A LONG ENOUGH
SHORE POWER DOCK LINE!! :^)

You've BUSTED YOURSELF AGAIN.

With all the power equipment aboard there no room for BEER!

Its no wonder you leave the Fenders hanging on the rails, You have no
room to store them.

You're BUSTED again and by your own list.

Give it up Nutsy. Your power tool list is about a true as your shackle
on the Dock Cleat Your power washer is used to wash away the BS

OT

With all the power equipment aboard there no room for BEER!

Hmm, most if not all of these things are kinda useless when you're
blue water sailing. Salty air isn't the best environment for
electronic gear, unless specific designed. You'll find out when you've
had a knockdown resulting everything being wet that those great tools
will not work, that while you most probably need them the most.

However, if you never leave the dock, it's a great collection of
tools!

Yeah...what use would a drill or soldering iron be on a sailing boat! Or a
screwdriver!!!

Bwahahahahaha! Remco Sock Puppet? Bwahahaha!

Ah, aparantly you're not familiar with "Blue water sailing", which of
course isn't a surprise. I should have known better, please accept my
appoligies.

Sure...I've only read about it and those blue water sailors NEVER need a
screwdriver or soldering iron!

Bwahhahahahaha!
