What's Your Favorite Auto Tool?

While peeking into your garages we couldn't help but notice the many tools populating the shelves (and floors, backseats, coffee cans, etc) and it led us directly to this query: what's your favorite auto tool?

Trying to find a consensus pick for favorite tool was a fool's errand this morning. Everyone has a different style. For Wojdyla it's either a set of his new ratcheting box wrenches or a plasma cutter which, of course, he does not own. Siler, usually so anti-technolgy, surprisingly did not answer: stick. He'd like an air wrench because "never before has man held so much power over machine." Wert, who loves technology, answered the same. Personally, we like a good four-way lug wrench both for the added torque and the self-defense properties. Also, it'll come in handy if someone with an air wrench decides to use one on our Virgos.

What about you? A favorite tool? Please include pictures and video if you have it. No, we're not talking about that tool. Get your minds out of the gutter.
