You forgot philips head screw driver - not all the bolts have socket cap heads.
- Might be handy to have some kapton tape of different widths for hot end repairs, etc.
- Something for popping off the prints (I have a mini spatula made by Cricut - $7 on Amazon)
- I use a pair of tweezers to pick the snotty bits off the extruder head before it prints
- Acetone for washing the glass print surface

Well I don't think an electrical usage monitor could be considered an regular usage/maintenance tool, but it would still be handy. :)
