When I pumped gas, a part-time job in high school, during the (so-called) gas shortage of the early '70s, The oil came in cans, and we'd have it displayed on the top of the oil cabinet there at the pumps, next to the credit card machine, which was a manual slider that took a multi-sheet w/ carbon paper between each one. Still most people paid in cash. When, w/ a fill-up, you'd wash the windshield, check the oil and all the other fluids also, while the tank was filling up. It was regular or high test and both leaded. The regular customers got the full treatment everytime they came. It's a different world today.

Seriously, here is the most important tool - my 50-60 year old Snap On breaker bar - from back in the day when good tools were still made here at home. This tool and a few sockets are what dissasembled my suspension, steering and brake system on my '73 Vert as well as the work I did on my '74 BB back in the '80's. Handed down three generations…
Didn't need an impact wrench or compressor - the breaker bar did the job.

My keychain beer opener is definitely my most used tool, it does not get as much use since my body decided that it is allergic to good micro brew so now I stick to the mass produced stuff.
