What Tools Do You Keep Next to the Printer?

After reading Teptec's post that he uses a precise h6 reamer under the "Scratched Rods from linear bearings" topic I realized there may be a need for other special tools to have close by while you're printing.
Other than the standard Philips screwdriver, small pliers and x-acto knife what are other good tools to have handy?

set of tweezers (to remove debris ), side cutter to cut a nice angle to filament before loading it, bottle of isopropyl alcohol and a lint free cloth. That is exactly what lies on top of my printing cabinet

Thin spatula for pushing off brims, blobs.
Alcohol in a squirt bottle (helps remove prints)
Hemostat (medium length, curved tip) for grabbing dangling filament from the tip before the print
