I cant believe no one said leatherman yet. I keep one in my pocket, saved my ass plenty of times. Especially being a commercial dump truck driver, things shake loose, sometimes you need a knife or screwdriver.

Snap-On duck bill pliers, most versatile pliers out there (Craftsman are an acceptable substitute)

Then i would say Gear Wrenches -- love 'em for most things that need a wrench

Someone already said their cardboard creeper. I own several styles. I like my Harbor Frieght A/C vacumn pump and gauge set I scored for like $130.00.

A 60's vintage Rockwell drill press rescued from a local trade school.

Don't use it very much but I was really stoked to save an old American made machine from the scrapyard and bring it back to life.
