Most Useful Tool
Let's hear a few of those tools whose absence would cripple your shop.

Mine is known by many names... Timing belt hammer, PCM hammer, fuse box hammer, A/C compressor hammer, and the list goes on forever. But it's mostly well known as the BFH!!!

Nothing beats (haha... no pun intended)a good hammer.

Shade tree... Mine would be my tool chest at work, since it has just about everything I need. The most useful if I didnt have any would be a good adjustable wrench.

A hammer, if you have to work it hard, you get a bigger one.

My Torch. than my breaker bar, than the BFH

Gotta Heat the Bolt first

If I go straight to using the BFH the bolt always snaps. (Canada loves to salt its roads in the winter)

Without a doubt => long handled prybar. It also doubles as a hammer and qualifies as personal protection equipment.
