I agree, mechanix (or equivalent) gloves are great for changing tires and such. For more involved and dirty automotive work, I use latex gloves. It can make some operations more difficult, but when you've finished a really filthy job, and you can strip off the gloves and throw them away and your hands are clean, it's worth it. I buy 3 or 4 boxes at a time at harbor freight (~$4 per box).

Other favorite tool: Set of Gearwrench wrenches. I don't use them that often, but sometimes they come in Really handy. Just saw them on sale at Sears for $30 (for 8). Reg price is around $60 to $70.

Another favorite tool, although not used much for automotive work, is a GOOD cordless screwdriver. Milwaukee makes the best ones I've used.
