Once you get a Milwaukee battery-powered shop vac, you'll really be happy. My vote for most-useful tool is:

I love all my tools equally.
I'd hate to know how much I've spent over the years, but I'd guess it's well over 100k. |

I have a homemade stool about 14 inches tall. Slathered with lead paint. It can make me 5'23" tall, it gives me a place to park to stay off my titanium knees.

For household work/remodeling, the most underrated tool is the sonicrafter/oscillating tool. I was unsure when my father gave me one for christmas one year. Wore it out, just had to go buy a new one. Those things are king-ding-a-ling for remodeling jobs.
 other than that, knipex pliers, regardless of what that guy said.^ |

I have no idea how I ever lived without one of these,
 My sawsall, jigsaw, and hacksaws rarely come out now. I had an emergency where my big doofus Labrador got stuck in the tiny doggie door for my dachshund one night during a storm. He was in bad shape. I grabbed that thing and cut the door out like i was using a plasma torch in aliens. 5 minutes to cut a 12x20 rectangle in a steel door. I didn’t put a scratch on the dog. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/72701/OIP__81__jpeg-2445988.JPG It may not get used very often, but the ability to make fire on demand is invaluable. Funny you mention that. I just re-did the mini took kit that stays in my car. Last time I used it, it was dark and I couldn't get the road flare to light and of course there was no lighter to help things along. Now there is. Never underestimate the power to make fire. OP shop vacs are very, very handy. Not sure they are the most under rated, but I certainly appreciated mine last time the basement flooded. |

I saved my house with a shop vac. One time the kids turned on a sillcock next to a window well and it flooded about 2' before I discovered it. I didn't have a submersible pump handy, so 16gal shop vac to the rescue. Would've had thousands of dollars in damage to the carpet and drywall in our finished basement if not for that purchase.

Quote HistoryQuoted: You drained two feet of water from your basement with a shop vac? It was still (mostly) in the window well, but was leaking around the window pretty quickly. There were even a few toads floating around in there that got disturbed out of hibernation. We had a little water get through the carpet, but we pulled it back from the tack strips and ran a fan under it for a few days. I've bought friends shop vacs for house-warming gifts several times since then. |

You are not wrong OP. I just used mine to clean out the cracks in my driveway with needle nose pliers. Then I filled in the cracks with crack sealer and applied Latex-it Duracoat sealant. Before that I used my shop Vac to clean our car interiors. Before that I used the shop vac to clean the interior after sanding the joint compound I applied on the walls. I also use it to clean the pellet stove and use one of those hepa filters that work awesome.
