He said tool bag.....you're referring to your survival kit.

Not really sure what i have on the boat but if you don't have a telescoping magnet and long hemostats many of the tools are taking up space because something will fall into the bilge. Can of ether has helped a couple times.

a little something something I started doing years ago to help refine my on board tools. Whenever I worked on the boat in the shop or at the dock I would use only tools I had on board, large or small jobs from pulling engines/drives, electrical stuff, whatever, I used only tools in my onboard bag. I am in the process of refining a new bag for a new boat but you'd be surprisedat how much you dont need. Every boat is different so your results may vary but it is a method of helping you refine and understand what you need over time

Has anyone ever used Emergency Tape, it's used to fix holes in hoses and lines? I just got some and didn't know if it really works.

Emergency tape does wonders. I made a repair years ago and forgot about it til three years later when selling the boat and then replaced the hose on the water pump.

My tools started out as a craftsmen briefcase kit with electronic test and two reel type alligator jumpers wires.

Now with every tool I have to go back to the garage for. I add the tool to the bag that holds the kit. Years of single engine boats and a Boat US Tow membership have helped

Holy cow, I must be under equipped. I am 56 and have been boating since high school.

I have a leatherman, 9/16' wrench, crescent wrench, some zip ties, duct tape and jumper cables (not really a tool), oh and a cell phone.

I boat rivers and lakes nothing offshore, so that makes a difference.

Sea Tow !

Mermaid bait and champagne.

Small bag of some of the same basic stuff......Mainly a VISA CARD with plenty of open credit.
