Question What tools could you not live without?
Title says it all. What tool would absolutely crush you, if it were lost, broken, or otherwise.

I would have to say mine would be vice grips, and my Bosch 4.5" grinder. At least for now.

My 275 piece socket set. I swear I crack open the case every single day for something or another. Best thing I've ever bought hands down.
