Patrick I have worn out three angle grinders (as well as 4 random orbital sanders) during 15 years of boat ownership. Of course most were on my J Boat which has even worse decks for water penetration and rot than C&Cs. The angle grinder is pretty much my favourite tool and for at home too (makes things fit)
Essential boat tools? A deep socket for each size nut on your keel bolts. The day you need them you will likely not be near a hardware store ….

In other words why is the Fein second to the angle grinder, when it looks to me like the Fein is a superset of angle grinder functionality?

Subject: Stus-List Boat tools Time for a discussion on our favorite boat tools???? Aside from the usual collection of wrenches, screwdrivers, pliers and locking pliers, what do you find indispensable for boat work? Dave said: "For cutting consider an oscillating tool like a Fein, with a circular bimetal blade. (where has this thing been all my life???) This is the boat repair guy's friend, second only to the angle grinder...." Yep, a vibrating saw is a valuable tool. I have the Dremel MultiMax corded (the cordless ones don't have the oomph to get the job done). Can't beat it for making plunge cuts and flush cuts. Also use it with a flexible caulk removal blade for removing ports, hardware, etc. that is sealed with silicone, polyurethane, polysulfide, etc. However, my favorite all around go to tool is this: <http://www.amazon.com/GearWrench-85035-35-MicroDriver-Set/dp/B0062FSAVI>
