Ok guys how about a list of things .."you have to have "
The other day I broke the tip off of one side of my dental pick and thought ..."this sucker is so damn handy "..I can't imagine someone not having one and working on lights..
-Dental pick
-Hemostat
-Digital Multi-Meter... DMM

Stuff everyone needs >>
I’m thinking Justin’s hand skills and Chicago’s lathe (along with Chicago’s obvious skills, of course).
And a reasonably patient wife, to put up with this hobby.
A good soldering iron with enough watts to provide quick thermal recovery has made my modding life much easier.
A set of "helping hands" clips with magnifying glass has proved useful.
A few small sized Irwin Quick-Clamps are handy in so many ways.
A set of small, sturdy, and extremely sharp scissors is nearly indispensable.
Lastly, as ruffles said, a patient (and loving) wife goes a long ways.
Beer 
And a bathroom, and a magnifying glass… For the driver, not the bathroom.

An X-acto knife and a headlamp as well as a helping hand vice with lots of extra clamps. As many various extra small sized screwdrivers as possible.
