Hozelock retractable hose - total relief. (Comes with a five yr warantee.) I just wish they weren't all yellow - harder to hide.
And a small, electric, cordless, garden saw. God, the hours of sawing this has saved me in the garden and DIY. The charge holds for months; it zips through branches in seconds. I use it all the time and each time it feels like a bloody miracle.

I WANT one of those! Something for my birthday/Christmas wish list!
Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
Mines a grafting bar normally used for fence post digging. Had mine for about 10 years and with out it I wouldn’t have removed a 15 year mature Photinia and a 20 year old Viburnum from my garden. Chops through large roots like butter and it’s length allows you to gain great leverage to remove the large root balls from mature shrubs
@Stevedaylilly I'd love a good grafting bar. The one I saw in a shop somewhere compared unfavourably with the grafting bar that my landscaper has, which was welded together by a friend of his. Still, I get by, it's not often that I need one.
I'll add to my previous items, my list would now be
two-pronged weeding fork
tripod ladder
impact shredder
Additionally I have a hori hori trowel which is quite handy, but not in use so much that it makes the list.
I have bought two tools in the last six months that have been gamechangers. A hori hori and an auger. It's is very hard to get into my soil. If I stick a spade or fork in it, and jump up and down on it, I will be luck to get deeper than an inch. Both of these tools have helped immensely. I am currently digging up geraniums that are taking over the garden, and which probably have their sights on the world. The hori hori is probably speeding up the task fivefold.
I think I brought mine from Hombase about £10 at the time. 1.50m long with a 75mm wide cutter to its one end. I keep it sharp by using a bevel tool. If it wasn’t for that tool I think those 2 shrubs, I previously mentioned, would still be unwanted shrubs in my garden lol 😆
