The wife and I traveled in a motor home for 2 years, and I was always asking people what tools they thought were must haves. We are curious about getting into sailing, and here is the best "must-have tools" video I have ever seen. Thanks for this!!!
Great job Keith! Please continue Keith’s Tool Time Updates! Please continue these. Great resource and learning tool for all of us trying to make our dreams happen out there on the water.
You have a great tool kit there. One thing you are missing is a product that Danger Stu uses in Australia. It is an aerosol engine starting spray called " Star Ya Bastard " made by the Nulon company. They also make a Spray Lubricant to break old rusted screws and bolts called " Shift Ya Bastard ". My favorite is a tool you need to celebrate after the job for opening Long Necked Beer Bottles called " Open Ya Bastard ".
@@island7458 Have you heard any details about how Stu got injured yesterday? I heard about it in a live chat room. There was nothing about it yet in UA-cam but I did find a pic of him on Instagram in a hospital bed with both hands bandaged up. He said he broke both his hands in an accident. I hope he heals soon and has not had any serious nerve damage.
@@DustToGloryPW Haha they are real mate. www.nulon.com.au/products/aerosols/start-ya-bastard-instant-engine-starter Only in Australia could you find a Product Line with this name haha.
Don't have a boat and probably never will. I'm here to listen to what Keith has to say. He's really holding it down for us middle aged guys. Grown man gets shit done... respect
As I watched you go through all your tools, I was going to suggest my most prized tool in my collection. My Fein Multimaster with all the attachments including tight space sanding pads, cutters, etc. then I seen you have a multimaster type tool. That tool is the first tool I pull out on most projects because it eliminates a lot of other tools in the collection or makes the job easier, or less mess as it cuts with vibration as opposed to a spinning blade. Love it! Keith, really enjoy your channel. Thank you for taking me along on all your journeys. It was my dream to do what you’re doing after retirement and the BIG C came for a visit. Was given 60 days to live in 2016! The treatment almost killed me but I am still here! Unfortunately, the collateral damage made the dream disappear but thanks to you and a few other channels, I get to live through your videos and for that, I thank you Sir! Keep living my dreams and I will keep watching. May God Bless You and your Wonderful Family! Thanks for all you and your family do to make your channel so enjoyable to watch. It keeps me smiling!
From a landlubber and non mechanic, Keith taught me two things. First, I wouldn't be very handy on board a boat unless you need computer parts put together. And secondly, I always thought putting holes in boats is a bad idea, but nearly every tool Keith showed us was for putting holes in boats!
I love my Fluke meter, definitely the best hands down. I used mine at a fiberglass plant for 2 years and had it in some nasty stuff and it’s still working perfect 4 years later.
I beg your pardon.....I have one of those $6.99 Harbor Freight Multimeters I actually got for free with a coupon. Those $20.00 Autozone Multimeters are for rich people.
@@Bill23799 I currently live by the ocean with a large selection of Harbor Freight tools. Unfortunately they are not proving to be able to withstand the elements. They are going to have to go to the trash bin when I buy my sailboat.
@@flygringo If I could afford to buy a sailboat I am sure I also would buy high quality tools. However I am currently physically handicapped with severe osteoarthritis, Type II Diabetes and Atrial Fibrillation of my heart. I live on an SSI income of $783.00 a month. So when it comes to buying things I live in the world of crap. I currently have 8 unopened Harbor Freight Multi-Meters . They regularly put out coupons to get certain items FREE. I have a Harbor Freight Angle Grinder i bought 6 years ago for $12.00 with a discount coupon. It is still running great. If you like to buy top end things and you can afford them that is great. Some Harbor freight tools like my Power Screwdriver were so cheap i figure even if it breaks in a few years I am still ahead by just replacing it with another crap tool haha.
This was a great episode.... Filled with great information. One of my favorite saying is "If you have one Ome you have none." So to have extra anything is great. Safe travels and smooth sailing 🙏
That was a very informative and enjoyable video Keith. Thanks for sharing. I’ve been around underground construction equipment all my life and plus one of my hobbies is wood working. So needless to say I am a “tool head”. My wife and friends calls my garage the “little Lowes”, but I like you, I have tools I might use one time a year and others I use almost everyday. Again, very enjoyable show!
After owning a project car for the past 6 years I have gotten into the habit of always carrying my tools in my car. All the way from jack stands to a socket set, to my tool pouch and then carrying extra parts like sensors, gaskets, an extra alternator, tire patch kits, etc. No matter how good of a mechanic you are things always happen on the road, or in your case, the sea. It's always good to be prepared for any circumstance that may arise, and myself already having anxiety it gives me the piece of mind knowing that I can fix most problems while on the road without having to be home or at a service shop. It also helps when you're your own mechanic. :) It always helps having a mulitmeter on board, and it also helps knowing how to use one without having to google anything. I started using Fluke Multimeter's while I was a Telecomm Lineman in the Canadian Forces and will always use Fluke and 3M Products. Great and reliable. Hydraulic crimpers... spoiled. lol You use a lot of the tools I used doing work in the forces. Ah, the Klein fish tape. Klein was another heavily use product in the forces. We used the fish tape for all of our cat5 in structured building communications on bases, it's cat6 now but same principle. And cable ties(zip ties) are everyone's best friend for tidiness. Your'e right, it isn't rocket science, which is why I am always wondering why people need to call any of the trades, like a plumber, electrician, HVAC, framer, drywaller, painter, mechanic, etc. to do basic construction and service around the house. Being self-sufficient and being able to do everything yourself (I'm a Plumber by trade now) is a huge time and money saver. And at the end of the day, you know it was done right because you did it YOURSELF. And Fluke Mulitmeter's are NOT cheap btw, so the usage of relatively cheap is just that... relative.
That’s a good tool assortment, I’ve remodeled almost my whole kitchen with a Makita Multitool. They are sooo handy! Enjoyed the video y’all stay safe. Also I was an electrician for 5 years and the Flukes are the best hands down! It’s a must have. See ya next time✌🏼
You do such a very good job with your boat. Getting around everywhere it’s amazing , and you children they really help out which will teach them hard work pays off !
Your my kind handy man I sold Snap On for 5yrs and 20yrs with Mac Tools and I like you have every tool you will every need and going out on the water you need it.
White Boy Chris Crocker it was a Simple question he upset a lot of people, I was hoping for some sort of explanation in this video if they address it they might claw back some respect, I don’t want or need to get him cancelled unfortunately he has proven to be capable of destroying all their hard work
@@SailingZatara Why did you delete the Defending America video under pressure from liberals? That's a real shame. Expected more backbone from a conservative family.
Where's the duct tape and baling wire? Every Texan knows that's all you need to fix anything. Thanks for the video it gave me lots to think about for when I am able to move onto my own boat.
I grew up a City Boy. We did not know what Bailing wire was. When my muffler dropped because of a broken bracket I used a wire coat hanger to make a temp hanger to keep it off the ground.
@@Bill23799 I did that with my old ford truck while on the road with my sons. Forgot about it until I went to replace the muffler a few years later lol.
as a newly assigned lieutenant to my first Marine Corps attack squadron I was the SLJO (sh%%y little jobs officer). as such, one of my jobs was the Reports Control Officer. I had to write a monthly report on all the reports we had to write each month. kind of the same analogy as the department of redundancy department.
You can learn almost anything from the internet and youtube. The hardest part is getting the right tools but once you get a little collection going you’d be surprised what you can do on your own!
@@k9nick Does Trump ever apologise about the divisive and offensive garbage he spews? When Keith is wearing his MAGA clown hat, why should he be any different. Just pretend it never happened and move on...until the next time. Fortunately we now know what lies just beneath - and it ain't pretty sight.
@@CaptureAdvertising i did say he probably won't. And you know, while Americans bang on about their rights, we did the lock down, social distancing and ZERO deaths in the last week. Compare that with sweden's herd immunity approach. Thousands are dying. Twice the population. Our economy, because we went hard and fast, is picking up again, and life is close to what it once was. So put that in yer yanky pipe and smoke it. Lol
He has so many must have tools he might as well just have a must have rope strong enough to pull a must have boat that's exactly like the first boat. Only difference is you built if from scratch with all your must have tools. You know just in case. Great show
I would also have a cordless angle grinder just in case your mast comes down with a boat your size you need to grind those stays of. People think that a hacksaw will do, next time you change your stages just see how long cutting the wire takes, then transpose that to very windy wavy situation, then go and buy an angle grinder and always have it to hand
I don’t need a fluke meter, I do it the old fashion way. Easy, cheap and simple. Pour water on the ground and step in it with bare feet because you need to be grounded. Take your hand (don’t use your writing hand), stick out your finger and touch the circuit, if nothing happens, no electricity Small shock = low voltage High Voltage = you are dead and don’t have to worry about anymore
Keith went on an insane rant about the current global situation like some sort of petulant child. Very MAGA, against reasonable measures like masks and social distancing. He also ranted about how it was fine if some people died so he wouldn't have to be mildly inconvenienced. Basically he's an out of touch spoiled rich guy with a million dollar boat and the manners and viewpoint of a typical MAGA protester. To say it was a "bad look" would be a *huge* understatement. Hopefully a bunch of people reported the video so UA-cam took it down with an appropriate strike on their account.
@@ttlensinjapan Not about covid - but about social threats like yours in general. How do you want to be treated when I disagree with you? If financial threats are not enough - what is your next tool to coerce others to thinking like you?
Spot on! Only thing I would have liked to see in addition is safety protection because it is so easy to put on and so many don't understand how simple and cheap it is. Good eye-, breathing (the rubber one with dual filters)-, ear- and hands protection.
Oh please...they took it down due to the overwhelming dislikes and loss of subscribers. Plus it’s probably not making them too popular in New Zealand...
I love to watch your channel. What really comes through is your love for your wife and kids. I am sure they know how much you love them. It was great seeing all the tools for troubleshooting, repairs and emergency fabricating. You really need all that stuff and more. I know it's not practical, but I'll bet you wished you had a little metal shop for parts fabrication, with a small metal lathe. I was really impressed when you operated on Jack's ingrown toenail. Your kids seem fearless and I know they get that from their dad because you are a rock for them. It nearly brought tears to my eyes when you explained your reason for not having weapons on the boat. You not only have strength but the wisdom to know when to use it. I just wanted to tell you how much I admire you.
Nice job Keith! One thing that people should keep in mind when getting a clamp on amp meter, is to make sure it also does DC! It’s a great tool for finding things that are draining down your batteries or charging inputs!👌
I just love Keath I use to fly planes, I’m in Western Australia work up in Karratha as a fitter welder so I get him I’m thinking of living on yacht so love you guys
Another great video. With the exception of a table saw, band saw, and mitre saw, Keith displayed all the tools I have in my basement. Renee did a great job with the camera angles. You guys get better with each episode.
Atlast I finished all the episodes, you all keep me bc aside from doing stuff during the pandemic and I thank you for sharing your experiences on your adventure. “Some might be a storm to you but most is always like the bahama, calm and beuatiful. Dont let those hater let you down, your doing good, keep it up for us who love what you are doing and living the dream(also for us) Love from the Philippines. PS. Cant wait for your next adventure on the sea...
I wish I could like this video a million times! I’m looking to buy a boat and travel and being a rookie I’m going to save this video in my favorite. Thank you!!
Keith, sent u an email on May 9th about the following tool. Thought it could help u tremendously in tight places. Keith, I thought this tool would come in very handy on your yacht. Called an Endoscope, Borescope, and or snake camera. Many different manufacturers so look @ different options. These are fantastic to troubleshoot something that is very hard to reach. They are waterproof, lighted, have different attachments like hooks and magnetized. You can look @ HD pics or even take video of the issue. You could then even email the manufacturer what the problem is and attach pics and/or vids. They work with smartphones and some now have their own led screens. Thought this could help u as another tool in your arsenal to diagnose problems. Take care and good luck sailing! I enjoy your family videos tremendously! DEPSTECH 1200P Semi-rigid Wireless Endoscope, 2.0 MP HD WiFi Borescope Inspection Camera,16 inch Focal Distance & 2200mAh Battery Snake Camera for Android & IOS Smartphone Tablet - Black 33FT www.amazon.com/dp/B0785H3XR7/ref=cm_sw_r_em_apa_i_upTTEbSB697B6 Take care, G. Todd Freeman
We really enjoyed this informative episode as we are trying to learn all the things. We just put an offer in on a catamaran today 🤞. Renee please do one on your must haves for running a boat home smoothly. We have 4 kids also and I need all the info I can get.
I second that request... will be sailing new-to-me boat from Florida to Chesapeake Bay in June 2020 so minimum safety equipment and planning needs would be excellent.
Wow great video! With your tools could your use and small vise table. When I working as a tool and die maker I acquire a lot of tools, I see myself using them around my house a lot. Since I like tools and I like working around my house inside and outside I also bought more tools for gardening to repairing things around my house. Being the neighbor that I am, if I see one needs or ask me to borrow my tools I let them. That's how my neighbor nickname me the Toolman LOL.
Watching you repair everything from soup to nuts on your boat, I wondered what tools you had on hand. Having the right tool for the job makes all the difference in the world. Though your video looks like a lot of tools, in my opinion you presented a pretty lean list of must have tools. Thanks.
As a Marine Diesel Technician for over 10 years I'm impressed with your tool kit you have onboard. A couple of things that come to mind that you didn't mention was a couple of different size pipe wrenches, a large assortment of hose clamps, pipe dope, and you didn't mention box wrenches? Also look into bahco 8in adjustable alligator wrench. The funny looking end works great for getting off rounded bolts and small pipe. I carry one in my back pocket everyday and have fixed more boats with that one tool than I could count
As handy as a pocket on a shirt !!! Damn that struck me funny as sneakin farts in a crowd an watching ppl walk thru the cloud! I enjoyed the Tool time show for real... Cleaned for him in real life.. whole thing made my day!!! Thanks!
wow keith i really liked your video and i really love watching your channel and your sailboat zatara i learn alot and your whole family are very fun and you all make me smile so thankyou very very much for everything you guys do from your new friend Randy from ontario.canada.awesome"
Great video and very informative. I run past hardware stores due to tool addiction but as you indicated “better to have and not need it, Than to need it and not have it”. Well that’s my excuse..Always look forward to your videos. Stay safe!
Great video! It's always important to carry a variety of tools even if you're not handy yourself. People often say they don't need tools if they don't know what to use them for. If you're a long way from help, it's amazing the skills ppl can learn when you talk them thru it over the phone or email, as long as they've got the tools with them. Also, if someone comes to help, if you've got the tools they might be able to get you going again. Knowledge is learnt, but you need tools to implement it...
Thanks Keith for the "Tool Kit" must haves, will be a big help when I get my boat (when the wife says its ok anyways LOL) Fair winds and following seas Zatara!
I found this entire video really interesting. Keith, I'm curious why you prefer the soft shackle? Is it esthetics? Is it that you avoid corrosion that would happen on metal? Is it that you have fun making them (your version of "crafting" :D)? Is it the ease with which you can replace them, and make them exactly to size, when they wear out and there's no need to order the part and all the hassle that goes with that? One, all, or none of the above?
Same Fluke I have ;-) Thats 88V automotive meter. It does more than most people know or use it for. Lifetime warranty! A video tutorial from fluke on the 88v is available out there. Keith it also comes with a coil clamp on pick up acc. I didn't see in yours. I like having the screw on type back probes for checking harnesses when needed. Good choice though big guy!
just for information dic's are for diaginal cutters wd-40 means water displacement 40th attempt star tip screw drivers sets are torqx tips just sharing here is a comment hope it helps the channel
Good tips on tool kit for boats. better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it. Of course with reasonable limits....don't need 5 needle nose pliers... Power tools should be common battery...either Ryobi, or Dewalt or other. Don't forget a good bolt cutter in case you need to cut away rigging in case of de-masting. A good electrical kit, and know how to use basic DVM skills are essential... Thanks for addressing this topic Keith.
WD 40 is a brand name.Most people buy the easeing oil.If you use this to ease something.make sure you fully remove it.and then greese or lube the tool.A tool i did not see are spring clip pliers.
its more than just a volt meter its called an AVO meter it measures Amps (Current) Volts (Voltage) Ohms (Resistance) most now have a built in continunity meter (checks for open circuits) and can measure capacitance and inductance
Man O Man Keith, You make a great Case for not owning a Boat! I'm not a handy man, I could never use all those tools you have. I guess I will never own a boat !
Were you ever in St Augustine Florida? I serviced St Augustine Marine and every once in awhile I would sell to boat owners who were coming through there.
Too bad it was erased, Keith is not politically correct, and that's fine with me. The guy is entitled to his opinion. If you don't like it, go to another channel.
Sad that... I like Kieths plain talking....says it like he sees it....he never says he's always correct, just his view's...no body is forced to watch the video's
I was being ironic. But it's a nice lesson to children though. If you express your opinion and thousands disagree with you, just delete it and hope your comments are forgotten
@@coleweston6740 I know you were being ironic, and my reply was nothing against you, but here is the issue I have, why would I delete a comment just because thousands disagree with me?, am I not free to speak my mind?. I think you should stand for what you believe, without being afraid. On the other hand, it seems Keith and Renee succumbed to the pressure of getting negative comments and dislikes, and that's wrong, last I saw, they have over 250k subscribers, have they all disliked his views?.....nope.......
Keith, you have helped me with my wife. She says "there is no way we should get a boat like that because you can't fix anything." I always say, "watch Keith he just figures it out." Once again you have given me some great ammo in my battle, thanks, brother!

He has so many must have tools he might as well just have a must have rope strong enough to pull a must have boat that's exactly like the first boat. Only difference is you built if from scratch with all your must have tools. You know just in case. Great show
I would also have a cordless angle grinder just in case your mast comes down with a boat your size you need to grind those stays of. People think that a hacksaw will do, next time you change your stages just see how long cutting the wire takes, then transpose that to very windy wavy situation, then go and buy an angle grinder and always have it to hand
And charged battery
I don’t need a fluke meter, I do it the old fashion way. Easy, cheap and simple. Pour water on the ground and step in it with bare feet because you need to be grounded.
Take your hand (don’t use your writing hand), stick out your finger and touch the circuit, if nothing happens, no electricity
Small shock = low voltage
High Voltage = you are dead and don’t have to worry about anymore
You forgot to talk about tool you used most this past week....the delete button!!! LOL.
What happened???
Keith went on an insane rant about the current global situation like some sort of petulant child. Very MAGA, against reasonable measures like masks and social distancing. He also ranted about how it was fine if some people died so he wouldn't have to be mildly inconvenienced. Basically he's an out of touch spoiled rich guy with a million dollar boat and the manners and viewpoint of a typical MAGA protester. To say it was a "bad look" would be a *huge* understatement.
Hopefully a bunch of people reported the video so UA-cam took it down with an appropriate strike on their account.
Oh, and if you check Social Blade you can see it cost them somewhere around 2500 subscribers. Well done Keith!
@@ttlensinjapan thanks for info!
@@ttlensinjapan Not about covid - but about social threats like yours in general. How do you want to be treated when I disagree with you? If financial threats are not enough - what is your next tool to coerce others to thinking like you?
Spot on! Only thing I would have liked to see in addition is safety protection because it is so easy to put on and so many don't understand how simple and cheap it is. Good eye-, breathing (the rubber one with dual filters)-, ear- and hands protection.
Keith please comment on the RANT video,, did you take it down or was it censored???
Oh please...they took it down due to the overwhelming dislikes and loss of subscribers. Plus it’s probably not making them too popular in New Zealand...
Yep his true colours. Hypocritical of him taking it down. Same as trump his views change with the wind
The multi tool comes from the coroner it was standard issue bone saw from way back.
I love to watch your channel. What really comes through is your love for your wife and kids. I am sure they know how much you love them. It was great seeing all the tools for troubleshooting, repairs and emergency fabricating. You really need all that stuff and more. I know it's not practical, but I'll bet you wished you had a little metal shop for parts fabrication, with a small metal lathe. I was really impressed when you operated on Jack's ingrown toenail. Your kids seem fearless and I know they get that from their dad because you are a rock for them. It nearly brought tears to my eyes when you explained your reason for not having weapons on the boat. You not only have strength but the wisdom to know when to use it. I just wanted to tell you how much I admire you.
Nice job Keith! One thing that people should keep in mind when getting a clamp on amp meter, is to make sure it also does DC! It’s a great tool for finding things that are draining down your batteries or charging inputs!👌
finally, I have been waiting for another Upgrade. Thanks
The greatest tool ever invented, The Multi Tool. They can make an amaturer look very professional. Good video Keith, Thank you Steve.
I just love Keath I use to fly planes, I’m in Western Australia work up in Karratha as a fitter welder so I get him I’m thinking of living on yacht so love you guys
Another great video. With the exception of a table saw, band saw, and mitre saw, Keith displayed all the tools I have in my basement. Renee did a great job with the camera angles. You guys get better with each episode.
Atlast I finished all the episodes, you all keep me bc aside from doing stuff during the pandemic and I thank you for sharing your experiences on your adventure. “Some might be a storm to you but most is always like the bahama, calm and beuatiful. Dont let those hater let you down, your doing good, keep it up for us who love what you are doing and living the dream(also for us) Love from the Philippines. PS. Cant wait for your next adventure on the sea...
I appreciate the care you take with your tools.
It sad to see most tools on a boat look like they have never seen any kind of rust prevention
I wish I could like this video a million times! I’m looking to buy a boat and travel and being a rookie I’m going to save this video in my favorite. Thank you!!
Keith, sent u an email on May 9th about the following tool. Thought it could help u tremendously in tight places.
Keith, I thought this tool would come in very handy on your yacht. Called an Endoscope, Borescope, and or snake camera. Many different manufacturers so look @ different options. These are fantastic to troubleshoot something that is very hard to reach. They are waterproof, lighted, have different attachments like hooks and magnetized. You can look @ HD pics or even take video of the issue. You could then even email the manufacturer what the problem is and attach pics and/or vids. They work with smartphones and some now have their own led screens. Thought this could help u as another tool in your arsenal to diagnose problems.
Take care and good luck sailing!
I enjoy your family videos tremendously!

Well worth it !!!
Cool stuff, Keith. Takes a lot to keep a sailboat running and I wonder how many people actually think about this stuff when they start out.
We really enjoyed this informative episode as we are trying to learn all the things. We just put an offer in on a catamaran today 🤞. Renee please do one on your must haves for running a boat home smoothly. We have 4 kids also and I need all the info I can get.
I second that request... will be sailing new-to-me boat from Florida to Chesapeake Bay in June 2020 so minimum safety equipment and planning needs would be excellent.
Wow great video! With your tools could your use and small vise table. When I working as a tool and die maker I acquire a lot of tools, I see myself using them around my house a lot. Since I like tools and I like working around my house inside and outside I also bought more tools for gardening to repairing things around my house. Being the neighbor that I am, if I see one needs or ask me to borrow my tools I let them. That's how my neighbor nickname me the Toolman LOL.
Thanks for your work! Enjoying your channel 😊
This entire list : buy for your house too! DIY is easy and fun!
I am a tool collector so it is really great to see this and see what are the most needed. I really need to cut down on my "kit". God bless.
Very informative video in more ways than one.
Rabukan 58. In which one must read between the lines..
Watching you repair everything from soup to nuts on your boat, I wondered what tools you had on hand. Having the right tool for the job makes all the difference in the world. Though your video looks like a lot of tools, in my opinion you presented a pretty lean list of must have tools. Thanks.
As a Marine Diesel Technician for over 10 years I'm impressed with your tool kit you have onboard. A couple of things that come to mind that you didn't mention was a couple of different size pipe wrenches, a large assortment of hose clamps, pipe dope, and you didn't mention box wrenches? Also look into bahco 8in adjustable alligator wrench. The funny looking end works great for getting off rounded bolts and small pipe. I carry one in my back pocket everyday and have fixed more boats with that one tool than I could count
As handy as a pocket on a shirt !!! Damn that struck me funny as sneakin farts in a crowd an watching ppl walk thru the cloud!
I enjoyed the Tool time show for real... Cleaned for him in real life.. whole thing made my day!!! Thanks!
wow keith i really liked your video and i really love watching your channel and your sailboat zatara i learn alot and your whole family are very fun and you all make me smile so thankyou very very much for everything you guys do from your new friend Randy from ontario.canada.awesome"
Great vid...I generally carry more...but I learned a bit...soft shackles notably. Thanks.
Thanks Keith, very informative. I now have a much better idea of what to get for my boat.... when I buy it!😎
The old trade u said love it teaching your kids fantastic
Great video and very informative. I run past hardware stores due to tool addiction but as you indicated “better to have and not need it, Than to need it and not have it”. Well that’s my excuse..Always look forward to your videos. Stay safe!
I’m not a “Tool-Using-GreatGrandma” but found this very interesting. 👍
Yeah it is Thursday!!! Howzit Keith and Zatara family... regards from South Africa.
Just to let you know, there are electrical tools that are salt water ready, usually they are shiny like chrome, so they don't rust ;)
Great video! It's always important to carry a variety of tools even if you're not handy yourself. People often say they don't need tools if they don't know what to use them for. If you're a long way from help, it's amazing the skills ppl can learn when you talk them thru it over the phone or email, as long as they've got the tools with them. Also, if someone comes to help, if you've got the tools they might be able to get you going again. Knowledge is learnt, but you need tools to implement it...
Thank you Kieth, always looking for ideas for adding to my tool set.
Thank you I look forward to seeing your next video
Sorry, I just wondered if there was a box big enough for big tools named Keith.
I love waking up to your videos!!! Keep it up
Thanks Keith for the "Tool Kit" must haves, will be a big help when I get my boat (when the wife says its ok anyways LOL) Fair winds and following seas Zatara!
Keith is a genius!
I found this entire video really interesting. Keith, I'm curious why you prefer the soft shackle? Is it esthetics? Is it that you avoid corrosion that would happen on metal? Is it that you have fun making them (your version of "crafting" :D)? Is it the ease with which you can replace them, and make them exactly to size, when they wear out and there's no need to order the part and all the hassle that goes with that? One, all, or none of the above?
With all those wires and terminal blocks in your boat, you need some sort of handheld terminal labeler/printer in your tool kit.
Very useful tools for a house too!
Same Fluke I have ;-)
Thats 88V automotive meter. It does more than most people know or use it for. Lifetime warranty! A video tutorial from fluke on the 88v is available out there. Keith it also comes with a coil clamp on pick up acc. I didn't see in yours. I like having the screw on type back probes for checking harnesses when needed. Good choice though big guy!
I was about to put a link for an oscillating tool when he got around to it at @15:20 "Handy as a pocket on a shirt."
just for information dic's are for diaginal cutters wd-40 means water displacement 40th attempt star tip screw drivers sets are torqx tips just sharing here is a comment hope it helps the channel
Keith, how large is/was your directional drill? looks massive! how big did you go? (pipe wise that is)?
Great job Skipper Keith +100
Late to the Punch... but as a Toyota Master Tech/aspiring "Budget" cruiser, you have earned a subscriber with this one.
Hahahahahahhahahahaha (belly laugh) Keith did bring his garage! He is right though, you need to be prepared. Good video
Good tips on tool kit for boats. better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it. Of course with reasonable limits....don't need 5 needle nose pliers... Power tools should be common battery...either Ryobi, or Dewalt or other. Don't forget a good bolt cutter in case you need to cut away rigging in case of de-masting. A good electrical kit, and know how to use basic DVM skills are essential...
Thanks for addressing this topic Keith.
Loved the tool time bro. Should do more
they’re amazing
WD 40 is a brand name.Most people buy the easeing oil.If you use this to ease something.make sure you fully remove it.and then greese or lube the tool.A tool i did not see are spring clip pliers.
its more than just a volt meter its called an AVO meter it measures Amps (Current) Volts (Voltage) Ohms (Resistance) most now have a built in continunity meter (checks for open circuits) and can measure capacitance and inductance
"This is my Metric socket set" "It has a half-inch drive, it has a quarter-inch drive set" lol
ua-cam.com/video/SmSJXC6_qQ8/v-deo.html
I have the same thing, metric sockets for 1/2”, 3/8” and 1/4” inch drive tools.
thats standard, including three/eights-inch drive
@@_J.M.S_ I couldn't find a video explaining humour, sorry :)
the whole 9 yards? lol
suggestion to add to your tool kit, a 300lb pull neodymium magnet and 110 ft of rope so you can fish out the tools you drop in the water. :-)
Love you all
Thanks skipper 🙏
Sounds like a kids at Christmas.listing off what he got lol .Why is it you can hear the excitement in a mans voice when he talks about tools🤣😂
Loved this 👍👍👍 thanks Keith and the guys 👌
First, we need a big enough boat to store all that equipment lol, cool video Captain 💚💙💪😎✅
Man O Man Keith, You make a great Case for not owning a Boat! I'm not a handy man, I could never use all those tools you have. I guess I will never own a boat !
I have all the tools NOW I just need a boat.🤣⚓
I'm on the same boat...But wait, there's no boat yet, how that can be?
Were you ever in St Augustine Florida? I serviced St Augustine Marine and every once in awhile I would sell to boat owners who were coming through there.
No Duct tape? A plunger and snake? Lol. Thanks for sharing that. I own an RV. We have a few things in common. USA!
Good job deleting the America post and its 10k comments and 5k dislikes Rene 🤗 Great job
Too bad it was erased, Keith is not politically correct, and that's fine with me. The guy is entitled to his opinion. If you don't like it, go to another channel.
Sad that... I like Kieths plain talking....says it like he sees it....he never says he's always correct, just his view's...no body is forced to watch the video's
I was being ironic. But it's a nice lesson to children though. If you express your opinion and thousands disagree with you, just delete it and hope your comments are forgotten
@@coleweston6740 I know you were being ironic, and my reply was nothing against you, but here is the issue I have, why would I delete a comment just because thousands disagree with me?, am I not free to speak my mind?. I think you should stand for what you believe, without being afraid. On the other hand, it seems Keith and Renee succumbed to the pressure of getting negative comments and dislikes, and that's wrong, last I saw, they have over 250k subscribers, have they all disliked his views?.....nope.......
@@carapungo they have sponsors...some angry commenters said they were complaining with their sponsors...wonder if that has anything to do with it...
On anti corrosion, one of the gun channels did an exposed nails test and Mobil One 5w-30 was one of the top three anti rust products...who knew...
In marine environment tho?
Keith, you have helped me with my wife. She says "there is no way we should get a boat like that because you can't fix anything." I always say, "watch Keith he just figures it out." Once again you have given me some great ammo in my battle, thanks, brother!
