    Tools for testing?

    I would like to start a thread to see what you guys keep in your tool boxes that you bring to the lake?

    My most used tools are my allen set and temp gun.

            Nice setup D! Is that a fridge on top of a fridge? I think it's time to upgrade to a kegerator.

                    The bottom one is a Frige - battery cooler. The top one is a scientific oven that we used at the SAWs in Dec., to keep the cells warm while we were waiting on others or the water. It is also my LiPo locker. I'll post pics if there is any intrest.

                    Steven, I am building a custom air conditioner for this unit out of piece parts. Then I will hang walkin cooler curtains in the door openings.
                    I don't want to cut a hole in the trailer for a window shaker, because I want to sell it and get one a little larger.

                            Off Topic, so sorry

                            Doug,

                            I am very interested in your rolling shop. If you don't mind posting some pictures of your setup I would certainly enjoy seeing them.

                            Again,

                            sorry for getting off topic. I suppose I should answer Steven,'s question.

                            My boat hasn't been to the lake yet. BUT... if it was ready I suppose I would take...

                            Sun block,
                            Duct Tape,
                            Chainsaw (for those fine adjustments),
                            And a swiss army knife.

                            Oh yeah, and some beer.
