OK guys and gals, for some of us new Jeep owners, tell us what shop tools you think are most important to have in the garage that you use most often?

Sockets, box end wrenches, hammer, screwdriver bit set with torx included. A TALL floor jack, the one I used on my TJ was too short to lift the JK, had to buy a new one. Jack stands of course.

torque wrench!

A set of varied length extensions for your socket set

Simple rule, buy a new tool everytime you go to Sears!
