I could have used you to help me install a TV wall mount last month. Completely irregular spacing of the wall studs. I would up finding two about 8" apart. Absolutely nothing was 16" apart from each other, as my 13 pilot holes through the drywall can attest.
I'd also recommend that pizza cutter thingie to fix window screens, especially if you have pets or kids.
Ladder. Also a folding stepstool.
Small floorjack. Every once in awhile it's useful as an extra set of hands when building, repairing, or replacing something.
