Good thread, much has been said and covered, so now the few items left get more specialized.
Re saws: a thin Japanese handsaw that cuts on the pull stroke comes in handy in many situations.I have one with two super sharp working edges, the coarse side could zip in a 2x4 in seconds. The fine side has no set on the teeth, so you could cut close to a finished surface flush with no/low risk of damage.
For sharpening: a thick/flat slab of glass with different grits of black SiCa paper to hone fine edges on knives and chisels. A small right-angle hand grinder (4 or 4.5") works great to sharpen or recondition edge on heavy tools such as shovel, mattoc, axe...
Sieves and strainers (re purposed from kitchen) to drain cleaning fluids/mixes used for de-rusting or de-greasing. Best not to put them back in normal use and circulation.
Hex allen wrenches, both metric and US.
