Best idea under $20

Got one of these at harbor freight to leave on the boat full time for testing basic voltage or for the the presence of 12v power. I like the small size, no moving parts, and no battery in the unit to die. Pack it and don't worry about it. Tested it along side a multimeter and it's pretty darn close and good enough for the trouble shooting I would do onboard.



This is well worth the 15 bucks at Tractor Supply. Nice smooth clamping portion and smooth rotation.

I wanted some better shop towels for the cars and boats, cleaning parts and reels. I purchased huck, bar mops and white shop little thicker than the red ones from Georgia Towels' eBay store

Better prices with larger quantities

25 PREMIUM BLUE HUCK TOWELS GLASS CLEANING JANITORIAL LINTLESS SURGICAL DETAIL $14 Excellent for cleaning windows and place mat when cleaning reels and guns

12 SUPER THIRSTY HEAVY DUTY BAR MOPS GREEN STRIPE 32oz $10 great general purpose, very absorbent. We used them to hold small fish when removing the hook


100 NEW INDUSTRIAL SHOP RAGS / CLEANING TOWELS WHITE LARGE 13x14 GA TOWEL BRAND $19
general purpose shop rags for car and boat repairs. Well made and re usable but cheap enough to discard

We all have first aid kits but I just picked up one of these to add to that kit. Folks who do longer trips in remote areas should consider your teeth along with the rest of your body especially if you have as many fillings as I do, they can and do fail.

Just purchased several of these canvas zippered bags from Amazon for about $10. A good size at 22", reasonable quality and a great price. They may not last forever but easily replaceable after a few years for the money.

Replacment wiper blade inserts from auto parts store, about $10 to $15 for set; just cut to langth and slide them in.
Problem is they are getting harder to find, most are sold as entire blade now.
