I like my Bosch hammer drill, all of my Dewalt battery drills, battery sawzall, battery skill saw, flashlight (that entire package counts as one) and my side-cutters (9" pliers with crimp). I also really like my Kline 10 in 1 screwdriver.
You can do 90% of your work with just pliers and a screwdriver and maybe that ever-present battery drill.

Three I carry in the plant at all times:
Klein 1/4" cabinet tip driver
Klein 5/16" cabinet tip driver
(both insulated)
Klein Insulated needle nose pliers
That handles 90%, the other 10% I go for the Fluke t5-1000, 87-III, and the other 22 pounds of tools in my pouch that stays in the cupboard until I need them.

My Ideal vol-con elite (Wiggy on steroids with non-contact voltage detection & continuity)
My Klien "J2000" dykes - rated to cut through nails w/o breathing hard.
My Vaco "all in one" nut driver. Instead of the Klien version, which uses carbide teeth, this one has individual telescoping brass sleeves which are concealed in a shroud. Just push and turn. I don't think they're made anymore - my forman had one, and I got one when I scored the lot of tools from a friend's dad's estate.
