What non-camera/lens equipment do you consider to be "Worth Every Penny"?

Would you recommend it to be in everyone's kit?
 
pencil and paper
 
These items of my kit all of which I have had and used regularly for more than twenty years,they are still as good as new.
Bllingham 335 bag
Billingham 550 bag
Metz 45 CL4 flash
Weston Euromaster lightmeter
Gossen Profisix ( Lunapro S.B.C.) lightmeter
 
Berlebach tripod (with levelling head)
Swiss army knife (the small one)
A good mountain bike (the best mobility for Photography)
 
Spotone #3: breathtaking 45€ including shipping to Germany
Da Vinci Nova Synthetic 10/0: about 2.50€
(I have an expensive Tobolsky-Kolinsky too but the synthetic brush works better)
Eschenbach 2.5x dual magnifying glasses to clip onto my glasses: 48€
all three items are indispensable for retouching my prints and worth every ¢

Gossen Profisix - but the Digiflash may end up joining it.

My Hass Mfg Intellifaucet K250 computerized water faucet. Anchors the wet side of the darkroom the same as my wall-mounted Omega D5XL enlarger anchors the dry side.

Long ago another home darkroom builder told me to give up something else to get one of these. Best darkroom equipment advice I ever got.
