Small tools in the repair locker present a problem in
stowage. When such tools as pliers, screwdrivers and
wrenches are stowed on shelves or in bins they are soon
covered with larger tools. Then when they are needed, it
is necessary to institute a search for them. Further,
when there is only a hit-and-miss system of stowage it
is difficult to make a careful inventory. "A place for
everything and everything in its place" is a slogan that
should apply to every repair locker. The tool roll
consists of a heavy fire-proofed canvas backing,
provided with loops for holding small tools. When in use
it may be suspended from a deck beam, so that every tool
contained is plainly visible. Missing items are obvious.
When the locker is secured, the tool holder should be
rolled up and padlocked. If it is fitted with a pair of
strap handles the entire roll may be quickly and easily
transported to the scene of operations. |
