    dougw To answer the question... the nut rounding Crescent hammer (picture #7).  Any tool that you have to remind folks NOT to use for everything HAS TO BE the greatest tool ever invented.  I think the second greatest tool has to be the pocket knife - again based on the constant misapplication and abuse.

    I own them all, except for the cable tie gun (which I had used a lot during my High School years in the radio station).  I currently find my 3D printer to be my most useful tool.
