What's a tool or piece of equipment under or around $500 that made a huge, positive impact in your job/shop/day to day life at work? First ones that come to mind for me are a Haimer 3D Sensor and a decent Zero setter for quickly setting tool lengths.

I'm thinking about the little things you don't think about but save time every single time you do something, or just improve your quality of life so much you wouldn't want to live without them.
