We are very grateful for the response to our wish list.  As a reminder, consumer grade tools and equipment do not hold up well to the extended use that Boat Shop equipment receives.  Heavy duty, commercial grade, or contractor grade tools are more reliable and have a much longer life span at the Boat Shop.
