| Gun Socks for tools
No this is not a gun thread. I was inspecting my wife's over under the other day and noticed a bit of rust on it. She hadn't used the gun in a few years and I guess the light oil treatment that I put on the gun had worn off. That got me to thinking of buying a gun sock Cabela's Knit Gun Socks
I also thought that that might be an excellent way to store tools. The gun socks are inexpensive and I imagine that you can cut them up and sew them to use as bags to store different tools. I have a few tools that I wold like to keep on the boat and to have extra protection from the salt air. For example a torque wrench, a 24" aluminum pipe wrench and the tool that I don't have that I want on the boat a portable vice. Does anyone have experience with gun socks and or how they would work on boats? I'm going to go ahead and order a few and test them out.
