I am working at reducing the tools on board to a similar amount in your photo, Menzies.
I also need a hacksaw, vice grips, deep socket set, magnet/mirror on a stick, a couple pipe wrenches, big & small crimpers, too many screwdrivers, scrapers, chisels, files, EZ-outs, drill bits, hole saws, utility knives. I won't mention screws, nuts, bolts, washers, rivets, pipe fittings .....

I was originally using a big toolbox but it was a pain to haul it out every time I needed a screwdriver. Then one day I noticed that there was a "dead" space under the saloon raised seating area. A 4 foot x 2 foot x 6 inch hollow boxed-in section containing nothing. I installed 2 large drawers in the space and it now houses all my hand tools. It's great! So convenient right next to the engine hatch.
