In all seriousness, Allen wrenches are pretty underrated.

A vise.
Just a cheap, small vise mounted on a table in your shop.

Ive got a frick ton of tools, but one came to mind when I read your post.

EVERY PERSON ON THE PLANET should own a big arse, electric blower. I've got an 80v, and that thing is so useful. I use it to dry the car...ive dried shoes...ive dried myself...ive dusted the ceiling.

It's a beast. Get an extra battery.
