Don't care who you are or what car it is, you can't do one damn thing without large amounts of this. Definitely my favorite tool.

Vice grips. It's never the right tool, but it'll usually work.

Ratchet wrenches. I love the damn things

Pass through sockets are growing on me, but between a BFH, some JB weld, and zipties, I can (functionaly) fix anything. With enough JB weld, it could even look pretty.

Best ratchet ever. Use one and you'll never go back.

The Unibit step drill, zip ties, the flexable claw for retrieving bolts that fell into tiny holes, and the LED rechargeable droplight. No more getting the creeper stuck on the cord, burning yourself and smashing the bulb, then rolling in broken glass to get out!!

LOL. I just used some to replace the thermal pellet in my Nissan truck.

Amazon needs to deliver 10mm sockets in less than an hour. All car guys will praise them

my 2 ton cherry picker, 3 ton jack stands, and distributor wrenches are my favorite and most used specialty tools. my dial back timing light, dwell/tach, vacuum gauge, and carb adjusting tool also come in pretty damn handy from time to time.

i don't use them a lot these days, but when i do they sure are nice to have.
