    I would have to say it is definitely the Lenox 9-in-1 screwdriver. Handles just about every job, and it's lasted for over 2 years without stripping out!

    Use my Leatherman wave everyday. Buy the leatherman bit set and extensions and you don't even need a 10 in 1, just carry a 5/16 bit.

    Those have been known to be left wedged in places up in the ceiling to stop rattles...

    Impact driver

    Now that I have a Cordless impact driver I don't know how I worked without it. I worked with a cordless drill for a long time and they don't really compare. It fits almost anywhere, they 1/4 drive is quick to change, and I really like how it starts hitting instead of spinning a screw head. With all the different things on 1/4 drive now its so useful. Also the Malco Turboshear Drill attachment for a regular drill is pretty cool.

    Can't believe this thread ( responce wise ) I am the most valuable tool to any call. I am thinking that 80% of calls for no heat or cooling are resolved without tools. I just bring them in to justify my bill.

    Capacitor tester. Not only for testing run caps in systems, it's great for checking replacement cap values when the mf rating is faded or gone.

    Fluke FLK2AC/90-1000V VoltAlert 90-1000V AC Volt Detector.

    I don't go anywhere without it. I also have a low voltage detector, but this one is the one I use all the time.

    Ditto on that, if it breaks, in less than 24 hours I've got a new one. Only trust the Flukes. If it's raining I don't touch anything that uses electricity, without checking. The electrician ribbed me about that till he touched one of our light poles, in light rain and it lit him up.
