Tools that work & Etc.

[mbd]

Just curious what tools folks on the forum highly recommend (and highly don't recommend) for boat maintenance jobs - especially you guys who have done this for a while. Tools you use alll the time and wouldn't be without, etc.

So far, these are my "big" purchases:

Cirular Saw: had it, but am adding a carbide blade with many teeth for cutting the deck skin.

Porter Cable 5" RO Sander: recommended by many folks on the Plastic Classic Forum for general purpose grinding and sanding. Mine uses the adhesive backed disks which I purchased from http://www.mcmaster.com/ which seems like a good source for just about anything.

Thanks for any and all input and pointers.
