Hands.

Hands. Definitely. I know I'd be knackered without mine.

Yesterday it was my fire retardant overalls which I managed to singe ANOTHER hole through with a poorly-aimed fountain of angry grinder sparks.

But, they didn't catch fire and produced enough smoke and smell that I noticed before anything under the overalls started burning (!).
Good tool.

How could i forget "THE TOOL"

That well known attatchment that fits on your drill or grinder that removes paint and rust.

And also if your not wearing protective safety gear and a mask can seriously damage your health, as i found out

Most useful and most (ab)used "tool" that I own is my bench vice.

Interesting responses.

I don't have a dremel, and hardly use the angry grinder, so I'd have to say my bench. Home made out of 3" posts with a sacrifical 3/4" chipboard top. And most importantly a comfortable height to work at, as I'm 6'5"

I've got one of those but it makes a terrible mess of fibreglass. Am I doing something wrong?

Yes Me too... Pressure washer doing the drive. The Blue Green Algae is very toxic, breathed it in (was out there for several hours doing this), and it caused my imune system to attack my nervous system. Complete paralasys for 15 days, and 6 months off work learning to walk again.
VERY Nasty it was indeed.

Please treat safety and self protection as a priority.

My biggest time saver has to be my socket set with ratchet. Use it every single day I work on the car. Cant say that for many other tools.
