Good quality torch and a pair of long nose pliers are handy imp2:

 

[Guitarist]

Petzl head torch (how anyone works without one is beyond me).
Knee pads which I cut to fit in my Dewalt trousers. (buy the kneeling pad from screwfix and cut your own, much cheaper than buying actual kneepads).
400mm high folding "step-up". Fits between a bath and loo for those awkward shower pull-cord jobs (again, worth its weight in gold).
Dilog clamp meter.
Small files for deburring surface boxes.
3.5mm tapping tool plus 75mm screws for those deep box jobs.
Crimping tool with cutter for 3.5mm screws
