What is your shops most import tools?

A good roll around tool box. (added to all the great tools above)

I am anal retentive about having my tools organized, I can't freaking stand wasting time looking for a tool instead of working, in the limited time I have available.

LOL I know, I work to a point where I can't find things, that is when I stop, open a beer and put all the tools away, then start again. Nothing worse the spending 10 mins of your half hour trying to find a stupid 14 mm socket.
 
I hear ya, I make it a point to do a shop clean twice a week and a real hose down once a month, just to find all the stuff I lost.
 
This bad boy gets the most use in my shop (actually have two of them).

Haha. I am not the only one. Try working on an old Chevy and an old Mopar. Multiple sets of standard and metric. Why can't they just make everything in 1/2in and 13mm?
 
10mm are the bane of my existence. I think I have 4 end-wrenches and 3 sockets, but the little bastards hide on me. >:(
 
I try and use this all the time, makes it really hard to lose parts. I own 3, use one for parts I'm working on and another to hold tools such as sockets and 10mm wrenches just let the magnet hold it to the tank/frame/fenders what have you and go to work. And at Harbor Freight you can get them for like $3 and they have a few different shapes and sizes.

it helps that i like to stay organized so stuff tends to go back to its proper place when I'm done. ;D

I convinced a pawn shop to sell me a long set of Matco M wrenches 4-9 for $20 because it was missing the m10, I just stopped by a Matco truck and paid and additional $15 for a (used) replacement... I don't buy a lot of "Truck Tools" but these long handles are nice to have. and the set is about $200 new, But I did get sucked in just that fast and bought a really nice In Lb torque wrench :(
 
iPod nano and a good set of PC speakers w/ subwoofer. Seriously. I can't get much done without my tunes.

I'm the same way. I bought a beast of a Boss surround sound system back when Circuit City was going out of business. Packaged it with a 65" tv for under $2K out the door. Now that I have a suspension ceiling in my shop, I'm going to wire the surround sound up in there, and there won't he wires hanging everywhere.

Same here. I'm pretty sure I have the only shop around w/ a Carver amp and JBL & Yamaha speakers. Plug in the iPod for my collection or the laptop for Pandora and it can't be beat! 8)
 
This simple Logitch system rocks pretty dang decent for a PC sound system, the zune has FM for listenin to the hair band show here in 901
