Ok, cruising people ... here is your assignment.

that tool kit?

Name the tools, how many, what kind, what they do, all the gotta haves, how
do you carry them and where, ....


It would take about an hour to list them all I suspect.

Hmmm...

Haven't heard one mention of "The Universal Wrench & Socket Set"*.

Better known as: Vice Grip Pliers.


* AKA "Polish Socket Set" for the politically incorrect.

And if that won't fix it, it's really broken.

You've included some of my favorite "specialty" tools like the coat
hanger, but I've never felt the need for a brick. What do you use
that for if I can ask?

oh well you can beat on stuff with it, and toss it at stuff too. but
what i was really thinking was more of a firebrick so when you use a
blow torch or need to solder something you don't burn a hole in the
boat LOL. i know when i'm around the house i'm always picking up a
rock or brick and using it for something, and there's not many rocks on
a boat! it's also good for holding things down when the wind blows.
