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

Would you recommend it to be in everyone's kit?

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.

"Worth every penny..."
