What must you have in your tool box?

[skynyrdcat]

Besides the standard sockets, wrenches and screw drivers, if you want to be able to diagnose ANY problem on ANY outboard, what are the must haves????

compression tester, spark tester, vac gage, voltage/ ohm meter seems to be able to handle just about anything I've dealt with, is their anything you would add to the list?
