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. |

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? |

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! ![]() |
