A recent thread caused me to think about the two handiest tools for boat owners (excluding a huge checkbook). My vote for the two would be:
1. Dremel tool - cuts metal, drills, gets in small places, cleans up corrosion and rust, opens gelcoat cracks for repair, etc.
2. Electrical Multi-meter - has cut down huge amounts of time on troubleshooting electrical problems in lights, trailer lights, various motor issues, etc. I have a cheap one that I keep on the boat that even does temperature. Great for telling if the engine is really hot or there is an issue with the sensor.
That's my vote for 2, what's yours? I'm looking for the opportunity to buy a new tool.
