Surely tool is singular so sets don't count?
As I'm a plumber I'd say my bahco adjustable spanner!

3lb lump hammer - slightly more versatile than my angle grinder but can be used to fix most things

Well i figured because the set is all in one compact box i could grab it in an instant rather than search the tool box for all the bits. But yeah i probably cheated just a little
Some interesting suggestion here. Its funny how we have particular favourite tools no matter how many you have or the size of your toolbox. Loads of tools just sit there just in case one day you need them, but there is always one that gets used almost daily.

For years I used to struggle with a hacksaw whenever I wanted to cut a bit of plastic water piping, but I've now got a special pipe cutter and it has literally made jobs like that 10 times easier.
I don't need to use it very often, but when I do it's there.
