Subject:What tools do you carry in your Bus on a daily basis?

So what tools do we carry in our busses on a daily basis- not a road-trip
basis?

I'll start: in my bus i have a full set of cheap-o metric sockets
and wrenches, pliers, needle nose, cutters, large cresent wrench and large
channel locks, Bentley, Hoses, wire and VOM. And the most useful tool-
AAA Card!

The reason i ask is that this morning i had some auto problems. You see, i
was taking some stuff to the dump for my advisor (slave labor??) and
stopped at a hardware store for some new Carharts (pants). When i came
back out my truck wouldn't start. Hmmmm. So i pulled off the air filter
and proceeded to drop the air-filter bolt down the carb! Woops. I didn't
have any hand tools in my truck so i had to borrow a cresent wrench to
remove the carb to get the bolt out.  Oh yeah, i used to carry tools but
they got stolen sometime ago...

Cheers
Matthew
