A Knipex plier set is a practical foundation for any onboard tool kit. Depending on the set, it can cover gripping, holding, cutting and adjustment work across deck equipment, tenders and engineering spaces.

TYMH has personally used Knipex pliers for multiple maintenance jobs and found them durable, comfortable and dependable. Exact tools and sizes vary between sets, so check the contents before ordering.

The Facom Spanner Set is a 14-piece metric set designed for routine mechanical work. It covers selected sizes from 7 mm to 24 mm, with an open end and a 12-point ring end on each spanner.

This is the type of tool set that gets used regularly onboard—for engine servicing, pumps, brackets, deck machinery and general repairs. The 15-degree head angle helps around restricted machinery, while the portable holder keeps the set organised.

TYMH has personally used this product and recommends it as a reliable part of a boat’s onboard tool kit.

The Facom Screw Driver Set ATW.J10PB contains 10 PROTWIST screwdrivers covering common slotted, Phillips and Pozidriv fasteners.

A screwdriver set may not be the most exciting purchase, but it will be one of the most frequently used parts of an onboard tool kit. This set is suitable for access panels, machinery covers, pumps, interior fittings and everyday repair work.

FACOM tools are regularly found aboard professional yachts. They cost more than a basic DIY set, but the quality, comfort and corrosion resistance make them better suited to frequent use.

The Facom RL.NANO1PB is a compact 38-piece metric socket and bit set built around a 1/4-inch ratchet. It contains ten 6-point sockets from 5.5mm to 14mm, 21 screwdriver bits, two extensions, a universal joint and a short screwdriver handle.

Its small case makes it easy to carry between the engine room, tender and different working areas onboard. It is particularly useful for routine maintenance and smaller fasteners where a full-size socket set would be unnecessarily bulky.

This is not a complete engineering socket set, but it covers many of the sizes regularly needed for everyday yacht maintenance. Full contents are listed in the official Facom specification.
