What's something useful you've bought (software, hardware, services) that you'd sorely miss if you had to give it up and switch to something else instead?

Thermopen. Infinitely useful. Unlimited return on investment. Amortized over 10 years and at $10 of meat per day, I can perfectly cook $35,600 of meat for an initial investment of $105.

Just a few better steaks or roasts and it pays for itself.

When I left one job, I was so attached to my Thinkpad that I went out and bought one myself. 7 years old and it's still my daily driver.
