I'm not allowed to carry my any of my favorite tools anymore:
1) 6lb mallet
2) 9mm
3) dynamite
Very Flexible tool set - Fixes a large number of problems, but too tempting to 'fix' a few customers with them
Besides, I think I finally got rid of the last AF1224c in my territory!

Outside of a good magnetic screwdriver and well made pliers I like to have a bright flashlight (60+ lumens) and a good set of corona hooks. I like the long single ended hooks you can get from precision roller, or was it katun... hm!
I have broken quite a few spring hooks. The latest one is home made, and as far as I can tell, indestructable.
I started out with 14" length of 1/2" threaded rod, tapered 5" of the one end to a point, bent over 3/16" of the tip, then hardened the tapered end.
I don't think that I have the hand strength to bend or break this one, and the threaded rod makes for a sure grip. =^..^=
If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

We sell the magnitizer KenB showed and one that has a demagnitizer slot as well as a magnitizer one. I don't go anywhere without it & my most frequently used screwdriver is stored with the tip in it, so it's always ready. I also carry a magnetic dish that I can stick on the side of the frame while I'm disassembling something so springs and screws don't get lost while I'm working. But my favorite thing is the HPtoolkit we sell. I thought it was just another bit and handle set. I use it so much I don't know what I did without it. The bits have dimples and can be any length from short to regular by releasing the neck ring on the handle. The bits are double sided so if you are using the #2 phillips, for example, you just remove the bit, turn it around and insert it in the handle to get a #1 phillips. It comes with the commonly used socket bits, star bits, hex bits, an extension, & the phillips bit. All of them have the dimples so they can be as long or as short as you want. Saves room in my bag.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Coke in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!".
Canned Air. My favorite Copier Guy invention of all time. My machines are super clean, quickly, without the noise. You still need the vacuum by your side,for toner/developer clean-ups. This stuff, with a paint brush are a one-two punch. Canned Air.jpg

I use an old motor casing that has the magnets in it. The old motor I took from a scanner drive on a EP6000, though I suppose any old motor casing that has fixed magnets will work. All my drivers and other tools that I need magnetized are kept inside it.

I have two of these in my kit. They are the best things for grabbing those small, nylon clips.
Fine sandpaper not only to skip replacing a oneway bearing but to find out if the bugger is causing all my jamming problems.
