The question posted has one good answer in the discussion area so far
(from bdinger), and I'd like to quote it:
"It really depends on what you consider is a tool? :) I work two IT
jobs, so I'm basically constantly on the go at meetings, doing demos, or
training (primary job). I'm also basically constantly repairing old
equipment and making it work (second job). That said, there are a couple
pieces of equipment I simply could not live without:
-Leatherman Squirt P4
-4Sevens Quark MiniX 123 light
-Various USB flash drives
-iPhone 4vand Android phone (currently a Nexus S)
Also within arm's reach, or in my truck, is my Macbook Pro, a Verizon 4G
LTE MiFi, Leatherman Surge, Leatherman Skeletool, a set of precision
screwdrivers (flat, torx, phillips), a windows laptop (currently a HP
EliteBook 8440p), a backup light (Currently a SureFire E1e) and this
ridiculously cheap and ridiculously handy toolkit.

The last item I've had branded in various forms (mainly Belkin) since
2003, and it's a really nice little toolkit to have around for loaning
out when folks will inevitably ask to borrow a tool - or when I forget
one.
Of the items above, I absolutely couldn't live without the items that
are in my pockets, and would have a tough time dealing without the items
listed in the paragraph above. I've actually considered adding a toolbox
to the bed of my pickup to store more tools in, as I'm constantly having
to run home or somewhere else to get them.
Not listed, of course, are the mountains of spare parts and various
other things we have. For example I always keep a (charged) spare
BlackBerry battery and some AAA and AA batteries with me. Along with
that, I have a couple spare various smartphones in my truck that are
with various carriers.
It really all boils down to what you need for the job YOU do.
