FYI the tape measure I linked earlier in the thread is going for $6. Pretty cheap.
In addition to everything everyone else has said, I would recommend a tape measure that has both mm and inch. This is the one I use: https://amzn.to/2ZQ4IEm

Fluke 179. It's worth the money because you can bash it around in your toolbox and not have to worry about it breaking. When I went to school I remember my teacher, who was in the field for many years prior to becoming an instructor, told the class to buy a Fluke. I raised my little Radio Shack meter and said, "Is this good enough?". He took the meter he was holding and tossed it across the room and said, "Buy a Fluke, and have the piece of mind it will always work."
Plus...When it comes to working with 480V or high amperages, I want to always check for voltage, and KNOW there's not voltage there, before I touch a screwdriver to something.
For the rest of the tools, socket allens make installs and service go quickly. Insulated screwdrivers...again, piece of mind. A nice magnetic flashlight for working in electrical cabinets. A NICE pair of wire strippers and ferrule crimpers. A banner test box with 24v to test sensors. Carolina Steel Toe Met Guard boots! Other random tools that you would most likely have in your garage. A Pelican 1560 case with canvas tool bags.

A USB stick with some portable apps installed.
This is a time saver, mainly in industrial environments that have some Windows HMIs.
Portable apps that I always carry with me:
Notepad++
FileZilla
WinMerge
7-Zip
OpenOffice (I personally prefer LibreOffice, but OO is faster running from the stick, I don't know why)
PuTTY
Sumatra PDF Viewer
I normally grab them at https://portableapps.com, but I also like http://www.portablefreeware.com
