On-car Brake lathe. I can't wait for the brakes to wear out on my truck. I just did the brakes on the wife's Toyota Corolla.

My favorite non-automotive tool this year is my corded Milwaukee multi-cut tool (I call him Mr. Bizz Buzz). He is a real MVP when it comes to cutting all hard to reach things. A must have tool when performing ANY kind of house work.
As for automotive oriented tools - I have to go with the Hi-Lift jack. Specifically the handle, it makes the best breaker bar! Second to that is an impact grade universal joint that made my life SO MUCH easier when changing ball joints and rear shackles on my project S10 pickup.Mr. Red - 2006 H3

I'll play...
For automotive, still one of my favorites, especially up here in the salt/rust belt -- my CT6850 with 400 ft./lbs. torque output and 620 ft./lbs. Bolt Breakaway Torque output. It may not be the most, but it gets the job done ;)
Like Mitch, I will second my ball joint press as a savior. I use it way more than my pitman arm puller :)Traction, articulation, and gearing make a good off-road rig. Just a tall lift, big mud tires, winch, and a light bar simply do not.
Why buy a Wrangler if you don't take the top and doors off?

I have to go with my favorite "tool" being my two-post lift.
There's nothing quite like being able to work on your Jeep while standing comfortably like a gentleman of leisure, rather than laying on the floor like a peasant.
