Well I only really carry a OH folder, pen and a flashlight in addition to my MT and SAK, so I don't really carry any other "tools".  I do have a few tools from my now late Grandad that are a bit special though.

We have a Dremel tool at work and it's great.  The other day I tuent a small flathead screwdriver into one of those weird security drivers that look like a "U" shape or a two pronged fork.

On my person I carry a Craftsman mini pry bar with the hook part cut off, a lighter, space pen, and razor knife alongside my multis.

In my music shop, I'd have been dead without a Dremel. They can be wonderful timesavers and also terrible tools of destruction if used without thought! :o Just check out a 1911 gun site and see how many guys complain that they ruined their guns by overzealous polishing, sanding, whatever. :D

On my person I only carry a cellphone and my Wave (soon to be my Swisstool)- I really need to carry a penlight, but in my car I carry my machete, Vietnam-era "entrenchment tool" (combo shovel and pick) and a non-folding Japanese bowie knife that I bought years ago. I pray my vehicle is never searched by the police... :ahhh

The Glock really is a great tool, I did a mini (and crappy) review here...

Dremel is the leading brand of rotary tools in North America.  Like Kleenex, Xerox or Walkman, it's a name that is so common that it's used to describe all rotary tools, regardless of who makes them.

Sorry to quote myself, but I just remembered that I did a thread on some of the wrenches that my Grandad left me, here http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,2412.0.html.  The picture isn't very good as it was taken on an old camera phone so I will have to take some more soon.

How about a Glock?  The kind with ammo in it!  I usually have one of those around, or something similar.  If I needed to use it I would be hard pressed to find a suitable substitute in the short amount of time it would be useful.

Other helpful tools:  A changeable tip screwdriver.  I've got a couple stashed where I usually am.  Folks are always borrowing them.

Stapler, Highlighter, flashlights--again stashed around.  Also, battery drill--so many uses.

One tool I don't have that I would like to get is a zip cutter.  I guess that is like a dremel.

I love screwdrivers like this, make life so much easier, even than a normal ratchet one.

I've got a Stanley Yankee Handyman which is very similar accept shorter and with a plastic handle that stores different bits.  It was actually my Grandads, the same as the wrenches above.  Very handy thing to have.
