I collect the desiccant packs from everything I buy and throw a bunch in my tool bag (same as the one in your video) and nothing rusts. Have to keep all items IN the bag though. The screwdrivers with bit sets in the handle are great until the bits fall out of the tool and into your bilge or roll into an enclosed space and then you’re done. I find that three or four flat and Phillips screwdrivers and a set of metric and sae Allen keys will take care of just about any fastener and they don’t take up that much room. When you drop them they are easier to find especially after the third or fourth consecutive drop! Just my personal experience though. I also keep a prop nut size socket and large socket wrench along with extra cotter pins in the kit as well (outboards).
Marine grease on the parts that need to move, pivot points , inside ratchet heads , etc and Boeing T9 over the whole metal part of the tool goes a long way.
I would add a pack of zip ties (maybe I missed them) and one thing I always keep in any vehicle is a cigarette lighter with a stick of hot glue wrapped with a rubber band.
Croissant wrenches are a step up from baguette wrenches, for sure.
Someone gets it!

Good tips. We put dessicants in the yeti box. WE also cary a complete socket set in it's own case.
That’s perfect. I’m doing this. The academy cheap orange box just doesn’t cut it for tools.
Nope. We kept blowing those boxes up and that's what lead us here.

Good call!
@@LocalKnowledge Thanks , also only use toolboxes with a good rubber o-ring gasket
All those pliers and no spark plug wrench 😮
We carry a seperate, complete socket and box wrench kit.

Always have zip ties and gorilla tape on board. Good call on the glue stick!
If you can afford YETI you can afford knipex
not for the boat, but for the toolbox at home, yes.
those are some flaky wrenches
