Whats Everyones Favorite Tool They Would Die Without!

Me personally I like the sheet rock ripper its a 2ft square with measurments broke down to the 1/16 for cutting drywall. I also like my ridgid ratchet gun for installing door closures.

My cell phone.

Edit: just remembered you said 'favorite'. Cell phone is probably the most necessary, but favorite it is not.
