Throw in a handful of zip ties along with the duct tape. I carry some jumper cables, too. And in the glove box, I have a cigarette-lighter* style voltage meter that I sometimes use on long trips to see how the charging system is doing. Might as well talk about the kneeling pad and the coveralls I toss in. Bentley manual doesn't take up much space. These items are for trips longer than a hundred miles or so, obviously.

* Oh yeah, you should think about doing something about the weird size cigarette lighter socket that Porsche supplied. I built a little box that holds 2 standard size sockets that goes on top of the console. One is for the GPS and the other is for anything else I want to use it for.

My dad always called "dykes" "linemans' pliers", so I do too.

For example, "look at those linemans' pliers playing softball over there".
