One of my better tool expenditures was getting a Harbor Freight hydraulic wire
crimper. I have saved quite a bit of money and time by being able to crimp
fittings on 6/4/2/1/0 gauge wire. Not only do I not have to pay the battery
shop, I don't have to drive there and hope I got the wire length
I like my little Husky tool set with ratcheting driver and wrench. Small,
portable, and can handle most jobs.

Only problem is that it will corrode and rust,
When I grow up I want to be like Jim.

I love my Fluke multi-meter industrial quality.
It the standard for hand meter at our power
plant. I bought the boat unit at a thrift shop,
found next to a box of old "remotes", for 10 bucks!
The essential boat tools are:
- 4 ounce shot glass
- bttl of Oakheart
- bttl of Gosling Black Seal
In no particular order...ice pick; 12" length of 1" stainless tube to help
with seacocks; set of stubby wrenches in metric and useless; big fing
hammer, big fing adjustable wrench, big fing set of waterpump pliers, bit
fing screwdrivers in Philips and useless; crying towel.

In the nav station drawer...
Small Vise grips with integral wire cutter. Shackles, seizing wire, holding
nut whilst turning bolt or tightening/loosening screw, various other tasks
fits in pocket.
Quality Multi bit screw driver and Allen key set.
Coupla’ very sharp knives.
Head lamp.
Alden Wrench 56038 Double Head Ratching Open-End Wrench, 3 Piece Set,
I love these because they fit well in tight spots and I don’t have to worry
about getting out the right size socket or open end wrench. Because of the
flexible size, you don’t need metric and SAE- either works on both types
Just ordered the GearWrench! Thanks.
Most used tool is a 4 in 1 screwdriver. Klein wire stripper and Ancor
crimpers have gotten a lot of use. Dremel is great to have. Rechargeable
Ryobi drill and drill driver with Milwaukee drill and screwdriver bits.

We all have our favorite tools we keep on the boat. Here's two of mine
that I use frequently.
Fluke 101 multimeter. For years I kept a $20 multimeter from a big box
store on the boat in a zip lock bag. It worked fine. A few months ago I
bought a Fluke 101 on Amazon for $40. MUCH better
