Ever since I bought this guy I think that every time I use it.
1/2" cold rolled. 36" worth of straight line cutting. Maybe 30 seconds. About as fast as a dull wood blade in plywood, but with far less effort. Can't believe I used to use a torch.

Cool. WTF is it? Looks like a circular saw for cutting metal.
For me, it's the cordless Rigid oscillating tool. That thing is very versatile with different tools and attachments. I've used it for everything from cutting kydex to taking down high spots in concrete floors. |

Pretty Amazing Milwaukee Metal Cutting saw you have there. I was just looking at one of those online yesterday.
For me the tool is the Irwin Bolt Remover Set. I've come across I don't know how many rounded bolts and this set is great at getting them out. |

Drilling hinge holes and other items in 6x6's you'd be hard pressed to find something better than this. This makes my job a lot easier when needed.

The blade extends down a few inches like a circular saw to so you can cut through 2.5" pipe and tube in one pass. |

That's a good one. The horizontal style that you clamp the piece into and walk away and it shuts off when finished is magical. Quote HistoryQuoted:

No, not for caulking your sink. When you have to throw thick construction sealant by the case, over hundreds of feet, a pneumatic caulk gun will replace a crew of Popeye look-alikes. Even the thickest stuff, you can throw down as fast as you can walk and change tubes - and do it surprisingly evenly. |

recently did some suspension work on my truck and could not get a bunch of the bolts off.. Picked up one of these. Cost a pretty penny but holy shit. It pulls everything off.

The first thing to come to mind is a Lincoln pneumatic grease gun. I only use it for greasing the metal-on-metal hubs of my old wheel disk (dirt molester you pull with a tractor for the city boys). There are a dozen hubs and it takes three tubes of grease to get them all. I used to spend an hour and KILL my hands and forearms from squeezing the pistol-type grease gun. Now it sounds like a machine gun as it pumps grease in. It's the best $60 I've ever spent.
Otherwise things like impact wrenches (electric, battery, and pneumatic), biscuit cutter, palm sander, 3-pulley drill press (goes slow for metal drilling), Fein Multimaster, Milwaukee portable band saw, pneumatic blind rivet gun (a real $400+ industrial Marson gun I got at a pawn shop for $45 because they thought it was a "paint sprayer"), old Allis Chalmers WD45 tractor and implements, Stihl chainsaws, farm/railroad jacks, and a host of other tools that make my life MUCH easier/faster/better. 
Oh, as I have some baseboard trim to install after a carpet install last week, I'd better mention the Dewalt 12" sliding compound miter saw. It makes trim work quick (kinda, I'm a novice) and easy.

Rage 2 14" chop saw
One of the finest tools I own. Cuts square tubing and angle iron like cutting 2x2's on a miter saw. *not* an abrasive saw. Uses carbide blades, cuts fast and clean. |
