1) Ergonomic combination wrenches where the box end is turned 90 degrees to the open end so you have extra surface to push on more comfortably.

Kobalt makes a set of non-ratcheting ones. Way easier to bust things loose when you can't get an impact gun or breaker bar in.
2) Go-through ratchet set, way easier than trying to get a deep socket into a shallow socket space and can also easy to use for when you need to keep the shaft secured while turning the nut (like struts or shocks)

The Craftsman tools I inherited from my father when he passed. They are all stamped with a 'J' and whenever I see one of those 'J's it makes me smile because I know that for a moment in time, that tool was important enough to my father for him to take time to mark it.
I also have a 1/2" SnapOn combination wrench that I bought from a pawn shop back in the days of my misspent youth and every time I use it I start running down the list of cars it has worked on.

I don't choose one of my children to love more than another, and the same for my tools . . .
but then, the half-dozen or so that belonged to my grandfather have special meaning . . . (especially the couple he recovered from my father an then gave to me )
