Power - Impact gun

Hand - I have always been a fan of cotter pin pullers. I haven't pulled many pins with them but they are useful in a lot of other situations.

Power tool I have to say is our big ass 9 inch old Black and Decker angle grinder. Theres nothing you can't grind down with that thing. It doesn't slow down when you lay on it.

Hand tool I have to say is the impact screwdriver. I know you don't use it very often but boy when you need to use it it works wonders. Saves lots of cursing and swearing and bleeding. Sometimes burning.

My Harbor Freight 1/2" earthquake impact gun would be my favorite power tool.

Hand tool would be my mini sledge and vice grips. Works wonders.
