Bosch 12 inch chop saw (however I saw a new laser guided Hitatchi that is to die for) 7. Miller XMT 304 CC/CV mig welder with 1 pound spool gun (you gotta have this on an aluminum boat) 8.

It's also true that responders to "break downs" die every year trying to help someone who could have prevented the problem with proper planning.
