Boats tool kit

[Bouba]

I do have a rubber strap wrench.....just in case I need to rotate the shaft from inside the boat....not actually had a reason to use it yet (touch wood)

I used to carry a torque wrench in my motor home....that was for any uninvited visitors....I thought that a hatchet might be miss construed as an offensive weapon

Tools have a fetish quality,down the road a bike ride was a secondhand tool shop that sort of grew as it sold good quality tools and machinery including shipwrights tool chests full of special planes etc etc.Hanging in the wall Ihave a large panel saw .although a bit tarnished just cuts through wood,that came from that shop.

Tools have a fetish quality . . .

Contrary to popular belief tools are not inanimate objects, but have a character of their own. Some are a joy to do things with, others are cussed awkward buggers, even lazy, that never want to do their job properly.

What all hand tools have in common, though, is an uncanny ability to hide when you need them (often re-appearing later in the same place you first looked once the need is over).

When I bought the Albin Vega over the course of a week ferreting about I found a collection of tools,from a small ball peine hammertoe a rusty mole gripand assorted spanners that actually had a determined use on the boat……they must have tried to hide themselves from the new owner!

Tools are what separate us from the primitives....not needing tools is what separates the really intelligent from us

not needing tools is what separates the really intelligent from us

Not the really intelligent, but the really wealthy, who can get some other, hopefully intelligent, person to use their tools for us

Te problem with paying someone else to use their tools and to do the job you cannot tell how well of intelligent they are until the job is finished

If the job is not done correctly or to your satification you then must do it again yourself and pay more to the material
