Digital Calipers, Body Reamers, Dremel & accessories, hobby knives (exacto).. That's all I can think of right off the top of my head. I use most of those on a daily basis while building and such.

A magnetic bowl is a ton of help at times -- I got mine at the local Ace Hardware for $5. Also, a "hobby mat" (Hobbico Builder's Cutting Mat) is always good to do work on. I solder, cut, glue, dremel, sand... pretty much everything on my hobby mat.

You'll definitely want BLUE threadlock.
