Tool Box on board .. what goes in the box
You know Larry { who hates old people and will end up in a nursing home
****ting in his pants } You make a good point. Rather than one tool box, I will carry three small ones for different issues. Electrical ,, Plumbing ,, general ,, ps: boat just came in the other day. thing is bigger than the Titanic. Captain is 86. His wife is 17! ================== "Larry" wrote in message ... "NE Sailboat" wrote in news:zjL7i.9938$eO5.8292 @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!

ups.com... Duct tape and WD-40. If it moves when it shouldn't, use the duct tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40. Oh yea, and a very large hammer if the above fails. Not WD-40.. use something that lubricates and prevents rust. 40 doesn't lubricate... -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

Read the MSDS, Jon. It's about 30% petroleum oil. It is light weight oil, so it may not be a superior long term lubricant, but it sure is a useful short term lubricant. It also protectes againt rust pretty effectively. There are several things it should not be used on, like bearings, or anything that maintains a greased lubrication. Sewing machine oil and electric motor oil are far better lubricants for moving parts. Like all multi-purpose, multi-function products, it may not do anything better than single-purpose products.

Chuck I don't think I said anything that disagrees with that, Chuck. Sewing machine oil is a poor choice if you use it for the wrong applications, too. WD-40 has plenty of applications where it is a better choice than sewing machine oil or electric motor oil. In fact, the WD40 company realizes this, and also markets sewing machine oil and electric motor oil under it's 3-IN-ONE brand. CWM Personally, and readily admitting to be a dilettante on the subject, I use dry lubricants (McLube) on most exposed-to-weather surfaces that want lubrication, rarely using WD-40 although I seem to always have several cans on hand. I can't think of any application where I use light oil -- mostly it's dry lube or one grease or another, depending upon the device. |

Some folks even rub in on their hands presumably to alleviate arthritis. Not recommended. WD-40 has plenty of applications where it is a better choice than sewing machine oil or electric motor oil. In fact, the WD40 company realizes this, and also markets sewing machine oil and electric motor oil under it's 3-IN-ONE brand. Not sure I understand the second sentence, but the 3-in-one Household Oil found everywhere is NOT very good when used as a sewing machine oil or an electric motor oil. There is a 3-in-one Electric Motor Oil that is fine. AFIK, there is no sewing machine oil marketed under the 3-in-one brand.
