OK - I had to get that out of the way.
My favorite is probably my craftsman sockets and socket wrenches. Second favorite would be my lawn tractor.

My 18V cordless drill. But I must say I have some Craftsman drills from the 1950's - 1980's that I love because they say "MADE IN THE USA" and they're made by the good ol' boys. I bought them from various yard sales in Florida (where there are a lot of retired folks and their tools end up given away (sad, but what can ya do)).
This is my second favorite, but my favorite company because they are MADE IN THE USA and they make sense.
Consider this an advertisement, and my personal recommendation.

1. Whats your favorite tool you own? Dead On Annihilator
2. Do you let other people touch your tool? Nope
3. How much did you pay for it and where did you buy it from? A gift
4. Is it still in mint condition or is your tool worn out? It's a hammer designed to annihilate the crap out of things, it causes far more damage than it will ever receive.

I LOVE buying tools. I'm an HVAC-R mechanic and I have a tool account for work. It's part of my salary, every year my employer gives me X amount of dollars to buy whatever I need as long as it's a tool or piece of clothing/boots/safety gear for work. I have everything I need now because I've been in the trade a while, but work requires us to spend the $$$ in our account every year. I end up buying stuff for home, or stuff just for the heck of it. It's kinda getting outta control, I might have to open up a store soon.
Most used tool(s) for work / that make me money
Do I let anyone else touch them? NOPE!
How much did I pay? See top of page.
Is it in mint condition? I use my tools for work so they wear out pretty quick, I normally buy a new meter every 3 years.
Favorite / most used tool at home and I couldn't do without
I have a bunch of sets but my favorite set has the torx and Allen head sockets, I seem to use those a lot. And a bunch of assorted extensions come in handy too.
Do I let anyone touch them? Tools @ home are a different story. You need a tool? I'm more than happy to lend it to you as long as I get it back.
How much did I pay? Again, see top of page
Is it in mint condition? All my tools are in beautiful used working condition
