1/4, 3/8, 1/2 drive socket sets, screwdrivers, pliers and wrenches.
After that comes the air compressor, air tools, torches and mig welder then the speciality stuff.

Without a doubt my KwikLift.
When it's down it's the perfect height for ordinary cars-at 6'4" tall I don't have to stoop over to work on the engine, and I can comfortably change the oil on everything without a ramp, jack or safety jack.
When I need to really get under the vehicle I put the lift up, and I can sit on the ground under the pickup and cars. Much more comfortable and far safer than jacks, ramps and a creeper.
When I clean the inside of the cars out, with the lift up the floor of the car is a comfortable height to vacuum without being bent over and doing calisthenics just to clean under the seats. Even something as simple as changing a headlight or tail bulb is much easer when the car is at a height so that I don't have to stand there stooped over while working.

Dont have a garage, but do have tools. The most used depends on what i am doing, but the 1 tool that finds its way into any project I am working on is my 18 volt cordless drill.
costco arcan low profile floor jack
tool wise..probably my craftsman 3/8 flex head extend ratchet with the economical grip

i had to tell my 22 year old son, what a bottle opener is. all so called a Church key
Double box end wrench 12mm and 14mm is my most used tool.
Dewalt 18v cordless 3/8 impact gun - it takes most things off.
Dewalt 18v 1/2 inch cordless drill - I use it for everything including lifting and lowering my car and truck jacks.
Air compressor, it powers most of my other tools.
3/8 drive Metric socket set - specifically 8, 10, 12, 14, 17 and 19mm get used alot.
3/8 drive metric allen keys
I have just added some ratcheting box end wrenches to my collection, they are really fantastic. I was beating on one with a trailer hitch trying to break something free (8 somethings actually) and expecting the mechanism to be damaged, still works perfectly. Nothing like having the right tool for the job.

Not the most used (but used nearly daily), but the most useful:
My 32 year old Craftsman air compressor.
Made back when Sears had "Good, Better, and Best"
Guess which one I bought?
Second Place:
My 8 year old grandaughter who can get her small body and hands in places I can't reach.
