A leatherman multitool.

There are really nice ones over $100, but they also make versions under that price as well. I’ve used them in a pinch on cars or other random projects.

A set of precision screwdrivers.

Goes from like 4 dollars to 40 dollars

No more jamming in a knife and stripping the screw for changing batteries etc.

You can even go all out and get the tamper proof torx ones as well.

A screwdriver set with all the tiny weird heads that you almost never would use. I got one as a gift and it's been really useful

Some whole ago I bought an USB rechargeable fan/unduster thing which is surprisingly powerful.

It didn't have a particular need, you can use your lungs to blow air after all, or fall back to physical. The low price got me interested and to buy.
