I think I paid a buck or so for each of mine. When you need them, they’re priceless.
What tool out of everything you have do you regard as your best investment.

Snap on 3/8 in drive metric impact sockets (both deep and shallow). Bought them used on eBay for $200 and love them. Every single fastener comes off easier with them whether I use an impact, an electric ratchet, or a regular ratchet. Maybe it's psychological, but they're the best tool that I've ever bought.

Best investment/biggest return? I have a Great Neck multi-tool I bought when I first started driving. I think it was $20 at Walmart. I’ve now had it 30 years and still use it all the time. I broke the handle cover off of it, but have done everything from adjusting headlights to skinning deer with it.
Distant second is a Pittsburgh 225 piece Mechanic’s tool set. It is not all encompassing, but has saved my butt plenty of times when I was driving clunkers. I just bought my 18 y/o son one for his Jeep.

My 4 post lift has been my best investment! Once I build a second shop I will install a 2 post in there.
I was never satisfied with the results of using a screwdriver or putty knife to clean out all that moldy/caked grass from under my TORO Flex Force Turbo 40 in. Lawn Mower - until today. The 4800 BP Ingersol Rand 125A Needle Scaler may now be one of my best investments.
