sleeper tool?
What's your guys favorite sleeper tool? By that I mean a tool that some people probably don't have but don't know what they're missing out on.
Personally, I see a ton of people that don't have gear wrenches yet. I think that's the best invention since duct tape. I get tons of use out of mine.

I have a lot of specialty tools, but I like the good old belt tensioner tool.
Long flat bar with 3/8 drive on the end and 1/2 in drive adapter for easy belt removal.

I think if you ever started using the racheting wrenches you'll find more and more uses for them. I was the same way with my dremel. I hardly turned it on for the first year or two I had it and now I find tons of stuff that I use it on. I have 2-24" extensions I used on my bellhousing bolts but I found it easier to use a whole bunch of small extensions due to the wiggle room they gave me.

I tell you another set that I get multiple uses out of. It's a double ended set of offset boxed end wrenches. I bought the cheap versions one time at autozone becaue I figured I'd only use them once or twice but they've saved my tail a few times. The tool of choice for pulling the distributor hold down bolt off on my 4.3 in my truck.
