Right now, this time of the year, my woodburner is quite important.

One of tools I use the most is my Dewalt 18V impact driver.

 

[zmotorsports]

I have been thinking long and hard and honestly cannot come up with a "most used" tool or tools. I work on such a wide array of things I go from hand tools to air tools to machine tools to welding equipment. I can go a week and not grab the same tool twice.
