Now its your turn!

My little rubber contour sanding profiles, sometimes called Tadpoles.

I too, like my Wixey, and my Kerfmaker.......and the Japanese saddle square with a 45 on one end.

My favorite are the byrd heads I have on my planer and jointer. Could not work wood without them, Best money I ever spent.

Mine would be the Frankensaw.  Can't get much of anything done without at least touching it.   Two saws, combined into one.  Part saw, part layout table, part assembly table, and even a place to set stuff while I'm working elsewhere in the shop.   I'll even use it as a bench, while I plane away.

Ron i like my magic box, "wixey angle finder" and my kreg miter gauge, on that it has a vernier scale down to 1/10  of a degree and if you like you can adjust a allen screw to make it accurate to 1/100 of a degree

I would have to vote for my Wixey gauge also. It's dead on and easy to use.

My digital calipers, love em. I have found a world of precise joinery not known to me until I bought my calipers.

I got too many gadgets to pick a favorite, but one of my most useful is a simple aluminum router bit height gauge from Rockler
