Which are correct:
1) His suit to wear at official meetings is at the cleaner's but his suit to wear at parties is here.
2) His pen to sign official documents is on the desk, but his pen to take notes is in his pocket.
3) The tools to fix cars are in the garage, but the tools to repair electronic devices are here.
4) The tools to fix cars with are in the garage, but the tools to repair electronic devices with are here.
I think one would normally use 'for + gerund' (for wearing at official meetings, etc.), but I wondered if the infinitive could work.
