      There are two that I feel merit “the best ever” title. They are the wheel and the computer.

      Corrective lenses. I don’t think I would get very far with my eye-sight otherwise. Although I do agree with Ken, both the wheel and the computer have improved the efficiency of man power massively creating so much wealth world wide.

      Ah I was going to say the wheel or silicon chip!

      So I will say the piano, as for me it is the ultimate instrument and I love to play it. (Not a very engineering related answer!)
