My hollow core nut drivers! So useful almost everywhere around the shop, truck and home. I love them. Second favourite are my ratcheting box end wrenches. The ratcheting ends are bigger than non-ratcheting ones but still like them. And finally and I guess it could be considered a hand tool is my cordless drill. Never thought to buy one but HD had a half price sale one Sunday morning about 10 years ago so I bought the set. How did I ever live without one! Built the bunny barn with 5 inch screws in the rafters and walls and just finished a small deck. Had to buy another battery though. And you can but socket adapters so its better yet. No more dragging an extension cord around.
Without a doubt, mine is the BFH. Never fails to put a smile on my face when I get to use it to whack the living crap out of something.
Yep...it is amazing how thin you can make an aluminum can with the right attitude.

A machine is a tool John. I ran several that you road on.
BFH? Give me a break! That's kid stuff. Don
Edit: The question did say HAND tool. So I would have to say 6" dial calipers or a 1" mic.

My 18v Makita impact driver is by far my favorite hand tool. I use that more than any other tool I own. Not so much on my truck but anything to do with driving screws it wins hands down!

1/2” air impact. It’s so satisfying to crank the pressure up shoot some PB Blaster on a stubborn bolt and zap that sucker out. Over torqued lug nuts are a hoot too.🛠
