I have a 9/16 ring spanner bent and ground that takes the cylinder head bolts out of my Harley ... used it twice in 40 years ... as my bike has Knuckle heads with the bolts re-spaced to run Panhead barrels, I think the resale opportunities when I give up 2 wheels may be thin on the ground! 🙂

My most used tools are screwdriver and hammer, the rest of the tool box tends to gather dust despite their specific ability to perform a given task much more than either my screwdriver or hammer.

I'm not sure what the least used tool is, but my most used ones are basically a debit card and google - with these it seems possible to solve almost any problem....

Very very useful my PETZL adjustable angle and luminosity LED head torch - brilliant runs on 3 AAA and they last forever.
Rarely used but for groveling around under the Morgan invaluable.
Can't abide lead lamps.

My valve grinding stick. Last used in 1979. I know exactly where it (and the associated grinding paste) are.

The former owner of the house I live in was a retired engineer, he left behind a number of useful tools but the one i'll never use a boxed set of reamers.

Funnily enough mine is a kingpin bush reamer. Used twice.

Schrader valve removal tool. Never used on a car in 66 years of motoring. Last used many years ago assisting neighbour changing tyre on his wheelbarrow and changing tyres at my son's kart race meetings. Yes, I know exactly where it is.
But I cannot remember where I put a screwdriver this afternoon.
