Must Have Tools... What Are Your Favourites? Why? Chime In!

If you are a homeowner, chances are you have a tool collection of sorts. While I personally don't spend a whole lot on supplies (being the junker that I am), tools hits a different category. You need them to help you fix, mount, and build.
The way I learned what to get was borrowing a friend's under his insistence. "Borrow whatever you need, then you'll know what to get." He removed every excuse I had to not at least give something a whirl.
And I indeed have my favourite things DIY wise I can't live without! The pictures show a few of mine and why.
I'd love to hear what your favorites are! I may have to add a few to my own shopping list...:)
Feel free to cut and paste the questions below into comments if you wish. And if you have pictures or post links backs to your favs, add them too!
Let's talk about tools! What are your favs?

What are your favourite, MUST have tools? Why?
What tools are still on your wish list?
Protections: what do you recommend?
Workspaces: where do you create? On what?
Or... whatever YOU wish to share. :)

Gail on Jun 03, 2016I love power tools and have collected most of them by now. Two that I wouldn't live without that I haven't noticed mentioned here are: (1) a table saw (I have a jig, Skil, and all the handsaws, but love my table saw) and (2) my electric tile saw. I asked for that several years ago for Christmas from my husband. He thought I was crazy, but I've used a relatively inexpensive one to tile kitchen and bathroom floors, walls, and backsplash in more than one house. Great investment!

Pamela Thomson on Jun 04, 2016My favorite is the Skil cordless 18V tool set and the best part is I got them for free from Airmiles.ca. Drill, reciprocating saw, light, 2 batteries, charger, circular saw and duffel bag to carry it all.
