Post by: Bob Gil on June 23, 2008, 10:34:08 AM
I have been wondering for a while now so I though I would go ahead and post this question.

What has been the best tool that you have had to work on you bus with, what you use it

The look on my wife's face when I say "Honey, I really could use one of those".

She smiles and says "Sure"

That's all I need! ;)

Wow! Tough decision to make here, I'd have to agree with Jim, without this computer I would be totally lost.  This site and the others have been an absolute wealth of information and help........!

My neighbor friend who is always willing to hold, cut, crawl, polish, clean or burn anything I ask him!  ;D

This "tool" is without a doubt the most important and valuable item I have in my tool box during the conversion journey!

It occurred to me that there was a similar discussion of this topic a few years ago.  I did a quick search and it turns out it was just about 2 years ago almost to the exact day.  For those wish to dig a bit deeper into this, I post the link..

MAK board and BNO board by far.  I still don't know how the old guys did this before Al Gore invented the internet.  The rest of the stuff I can usually get out of my tool box.
