Good sturdy deck key

Good product, heavy gives you leverage for stubborn deck gear. It is recommended to attach a line to it so as not to lose it overboard.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • I'll write back later

Just right for small boats

Not too big. Not too small. Sturdy, constructed of bronze with two sizes of stainless steel pins to fit most pleasure boat deck plates.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Mature model

Must have boat tools

I've avoided buying this for years. I'm so glad I finally got active! Groco filter caps are much easier to open with the right tool!

Pros
  • Pleasing
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Well made tool best hand tool

I attended a free boat owner maintenance session at my Sea Ray dealer one evening and this tool was on the list of tools and parts to have on your boat should have. Bronze is so vintage and I LOVE IT! I covered it with several coats of clear coat to keep the new look. This tool will definitely outlive me.

Pros
  • handy item
Cons
  • so far so good

The best tool on my boat!

Great quality adjustable tool that saved me a lot of trouble! It is suitable for all different types of gas caps, water and other difficult-to-open tanks. I suggest getting a floating device so it doesn't sink if you drop it.

Pros
  • Cast bronze with 1/4" stainless steel pins on one side and 5/16" pins on the other
Cons
  • Something else

Wrench tool well made

One evening I attended a free boat owner service class at my Sea Ray dealer and this tool was on the tools list and spare parts to have on your boat. The bronze is so vintage and I LOVE IT! I sprayed several coats of clear coat on it to keep it looking new. This tool will definitely outlive me.

Pros
  • Opens to install top plates and screen covers with keyholes up to 7"
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Adjustable Width Deck Wrench

All deck plates and filters in the raw water system have different widths between the holes in the plates so a normal wrench will not work. In addition, the length of the wrench gives more torque than the wrench. Our Hans Christian sailboat had one on board when we got it but it was easier for us to leave one on deck for the deck plates and the other below for the filters. And if one gets lost, we have a backup! A superb burnt bronze instrument.

Pros
  • A hole in the handle makes it easy to hang the wrench in a convenient spot for the filter
Cons
  • Expensive
