Lots of wedge mutes (get tired of chasing them)

Metronome with pitch source and fork, of-course
ultra thin CA glue, tape, saran wrap (under grand pinblocks) syringe & needles
voicing needle tool
voicing (up) juice (rarely need)
sanding paddle
Mannino string lifting hook (tighten up the forward terminations, string 
leveling, check mating afterwards)
hammer and brass drift (for settling string around bridge pins)

Q-tips
forceps  (foreign object removal)
extendable magnet (as above)
spray liquid born teflon (squeeks) non wetting
screw drivers
keybrite for cleaning the keys
HPE polish for cleaning those difficult to clean pianos (don't use on wood 
finish because it will lift the polish)
soundboard steel (for dusting the same)
multiple tips including high angle and long for those grands with pin 
blocks way down there.
