Other Stainless Steel Tools

[Etheraldreamer]

does anyone know of any place that you can buy quality stainless steel tools? ive found screwdriver and allen wrench sets but really want some other options ie nutdriver, locking pliers that kind of thing. stainless tools are $$ but its nice to have the essentials in a waterproof case with you and not have to worry that once you use them they are toast. i ride only salt water and hate having to clean and oil tools on a regular basis if i end up having to use them at the beach. any suggestions?

I haven't seen stainless wrenches before.
However, I use a cheap tool set from the 99 cent store for my beach tools.
Keeps my Craftsman set nice for home use.

All you need is money.

Even medical grade 316 stainless steel will rust in a salt water environment, so don't waist your money.

I'd recommend using a Pelican waterproof case and keep your tools lubed with some WD-40.
