Re: Most underrated/undervalued tools

I heartily agree with many of the items above, and am now looking into several of those we do not yet use. Among those not yet cited, I'll nominate Microsoft Office Suite, particularly excel and power point.

MS Excel powers the JVN calculator and a remarkable variety of one-off calculators we've used over the years to determine lengths and gear ratios and such, and it's been invaluable for project management and CAW (formerly BoM) preparation.

We've used MS Power point for everything from quickie CAD and feasibility simulator to team training to fund raising.
