There is a commonly used DiY tool that is worse than useless on a boat. If you have one, throw it away now. What is it?
Some clues:
It is a common hand tool - no electricity involved
The problem it causes is not a safety issue
Worse than useless. If you did use it you would cause big problems - do NOT use one on a boat
It is very commonly used by chippies, kitchen fitters, plumbers, etc since time immemorial
Someone fitting out a boat on dry land might find it OK to use, but I doubt it. Once the boat is in the water it would lead to serious errors in fitting out.
A last cryptic clue - Would a confused viper sell it?
HERBIE! Journeys on our narrowboat and the trials and tribulations of maintaining her.

Spirit level
I agree with Jan.
Seen as "viper sell it" is an anagram for spirit level, Im with you both
Yep, I'm with the others :)
I had a friend who fitted racking for huge computer systems on oil rigs and he always said it had to be done by eye as a spirit level was useless.
You wouldn't want to be doing any bell 'umpin' either.
