Most satisfying piece of equipment to use
Everyone one has so much stuff they can use in their sheds these days.
The range is endless.
Of all the gear I have, without a doubt the one item that always makes me feel good when ever I use it is my little Mitutoyo metric micrometer.
There's just something about using a really really well made, nice and silky smooth micrometer.
It's an absolute pleasure to use and read off of.
Had it for years.
Still looks as good as the day I bought it.

Any tool that I don't have to put my glasses on to use.

Too easy, for my money it's my 9" angle grinder...
No subtlety or precision, just fast and efficient.

In an almost opposite way the most satisfying piece of equipment I use is my bigger chainsaw mill.
It's dirty, heavy, loud and dusty, but surprisingly accurate given it's job description and modus operandi.
I also designed and made most of it myself, and it is one a few tools I have made that performs better than initial expectations.

The couch... It's helped me many times when I've hit a snag and need to work out a way to fix it.

Whatever piece of gear I am currently using provided it is doing what it is supposed to do.

For me,
My multitool linisher.
I do probably 10 jobs a week on average. Short duration work for only a minute or two
Easily the most versatile power tool in the shop.
Sharpens knives, chisels, screwdrivers, drills, dresses metal , the list goes on and on.

Pretty much the top of mine now in amongst a DRO for my lathe. I find using my new 5 month old lathe (AL320G) the most satisfying, particularly when I am turning out parts in half the time i used to. The next tool would have to be my nutsert tool. It just simplifies so many mounting problems.
