We use WinTask for most of our website automation tasks, regression tests, etc. It's very easy to use, yet amazingly powerful.
BareTail

Our systems tend to have fairly comprehensive logs which provide a lot of useful information for analyzing the results of tests. BareTail makes it easy to watch several logs simultaneously, and highlight areas of interest.
BareGrep

Our systems tend to have a lot of configuration files. BareGrep makes it easy to search through them and find the desired settings.
PL/SQL Developer
http://www.allroundautomations.com/plsqldev.html
We use this for pretty much all of our analysis of database activity, for creating test data, for testing stored procedures, etc.
WinMerge
http://winmerge.org/
Often our testing involves comparing the recent output to baselines. Sometimes the output comes from our system-under-test, sometimes the output is created during our automated tests. WinMerge makes comparison with the baseline, and analysis of the differences, very efficient.
SharePoint
http://sharepoint.microsoft.com
We keep our development and test assets (Requirements, Specs, Test Plans, Schedules, Checklists, etc) in SharePoint.
Bugzilla
http://www.bugzilla.org/
Our bug-tracking tool of choice.
MWSnap
