I once found a gland nut spanner at the intersection of 59th Ave and
Greenway in Phoenix Arizona. My nearly new wife wondered about me as I
dodged traffic with some satisfaction. Forty years on I used it for the
packing nuts on Further, the GB42 #129 we spent five years as liveaboards.
So, as far as choosing which tools to throw overboard, I would have sets
available for site specific use without too much concern for duplication
but more for its likelihood of damage and expense.
Screwdrivers are the zucchini of a toolbox so the old admonition not to
use a screwdriver for anything else than screws gives way to fids, abalone,
anything subject to pointy objects, or even toothpicks. A small crescent
wrench beats any leatherman but I digress.
The pricey stuff is each captain’s white whale. I do remember searching for
a bevel guage I forgot was in storage. Simple stuff.
If you can’t clean them in a day you may have too many.
Have fun.
