Top Ten Tools for a Cruiser
I am helping a cruiser establish a tool chest. Would someone care to comment on necessary tools that one might need in dire situations when the boat yard mechanic is thousands of miles away? Besides the obvious, e.g. screwdriver, hammer, rum... what type of tool would you consider? Below are my suggestions

1. Good drill index with tap and die set.
2. Pulley puller
3. Vise
4. Torch
5. Multimeter
6. Swag
7. Grinder
8. Bolt Cutters
9. Solder Gun
10. ?

Comments like "Well first of all you must know what you are doing..." have been accounted for.
