My little wet/dry shop-vac fits in this category. I use it maybe once every six months, but when it's needed...
A new air conditioner install was done with a cracked PVC fitting on the evaporator drain line. This allowed condensate to fall outside the pan and soak my insulation and sheet-rock ceiling (water was dripping through into my living room). The cracked fitting was under the insulation, and took a couple of days to find. But when we DID pull out the insulation and found all the water between the ceiling joists, the wet/dry vac got it all up in minutes. Would have been a PAIN to sop up with towels and wring into a bucket.
So I nominate my wet/dry shop-vac as one of the "seldom-used necessities."
