Most useful tools. Your favorites?
I was marveling at how mouch a couple of my tools have helped me lately and I figured I would start a thread. Here are my favorite tools.
Energizer LED head light. You strap this thing on your head, look like a dork ( I call it the dork light ) and no matter where you look there is light. It even pivots down for tight spaces (under the car) when you need light at an angle. I use this thing all the time now..

Cordless impact wrench. one of the coolest tools ever! Think handheld cordless drill, but an impact wrench. awesome!

One of my favorites is the little seat on wheels with the tray underneath for tools/parts. It's great for working on car brakes, motorcycles, etc. That little telescoping magnet mentioned earlier has saved me many times!

This was the most valuable tool for me, at least during my LT header install:

I was rethinking this, and I'd have to say the one tool I have used the most as of recently...Rhino Ramps. I use those suckers for everything!! Changing oil is a breeze, new mufflers...piece of cake. Replacing the fuel filter....no problem. Adding XL-3 to the rear end, easy as pie.
Sure beats a floor jack and jack stands.

You know, I just trashed mine. Those POS would not stay still for anything. I even bolted down some stoppers on the floor and put the ramps against them and the ramps would just bow at the weight of the car and jump right over the stoppers. Things drove me nuts. Those get from my personal experience.

my ramps will slide on my garage floor when pulling up going forward but are ok in the drive way. backing on to the ramps in no problem. I usally kick them under the tires instead of getting a running start at them.

Mine is the ramp set that I made. Can be used for a car that is lowered to an extreme and are heavy enough so that they won't move when driven upon. The only downside is that they are a bit cumbersome.
I found the idea here:

Best ramps I ever had. The only thing different that I did, was bevel the leading edges of the "steps" about 45 degrees. Definitely my favorite
