A QUICK RUN DOWN ON THE EQUIPMENT

Well here are the equipment id be carrying along just incase if ever i do get a job working at sea. A quick rundown on the specs of tools that will be placed on my holdster

FOLDABLE MULTI- TOOL PLIERS

I was trying to get a black variety of this kind but ended up having a wooden brown color, In any case a pair of pliers is very handy onboard to add more function are the set of mini tools to make it more useful. Now why the hell did i prefer foldadble simple answer i prefer the much more mobile and space saving design. Cost around i think 500 PHP on Sm mall.



CARDBOARD BOX CUTTERS

This is the most inexpensive of all the tools (aside from the pencil of course) and yet the most used tool, as the name implies that this tool is used to cut and slice objects,

Aside from that Unofficially it can be used as a defense weapon as well , In the event that a would be attacker would attempt to jump and beat you to death, this tool will make him / her think twice from doing it. Seriously this is a MUST HAVE TOOL and a secondary defensive weapon just in case you don't have a standard knife around. Be sure to buy a lot of spare blades though since its cutting blades get dull easily


PENCIL

 The least expensive tools and perhaps the most rarely used. Obviously this is used to write something. Now why a pencil instead of a pen ??? Simple answer ! pencils are water proof compared to pens


PENTEL PEN (A.K.A MARKING PEN ALSO)

Secondary tool of a pencil , used on certain surfaces were a pencil is ineffective.


SCREW DRIVERS (PAIRS)

When buying one make sure to buy both the "positive" screw driver and "Negative" screw driver, and buy both with a longer reach. Unofficially this can be used as a defensive weapon, though only a third option in case you don't have a standard knife around and you forgot to replace the blades of your cardboard box cutters. Not a cutting weapon but a piercing kind.'


SMALL WRENCH

Aside from opening and securing both bolt and nuts , this tool can be used as a smashing tool - yeah a kind of like a hammer as one might say.



Not picture here is a Bosun knife which serves as a cutting tool and a primary defensive weapon , this tool is really cool on the fact that it intimidates your enemies on board from doing any bullying and harassment.

Bosuns knife is quite similiar to a standard combat knife (Rambo knife) both in appearance and function. the only blurr that makes them different is how the way they are called.
