A paperclip does the same.

And there's my point: paperclip! Use it to extract power connectors, jump start your PSU. You could even install a fan with those if you're aiming for ghetto pure!

this is faster, just push it in and you're good :D

A multimeter, even a cheap $2 one from Harbor Freight Tools is better than nothing.  This is all you will need: http://www.amazon.com/Digital-VOLT-Meter-Voltmeter-Multimeter/dp/B005EK3NRS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1371095838&sr=8-1&keywords=multimeter

 

Also it is a nice tool to just have around the house.

A solid multi-tool. You can get a pretty good one at any sort of hardware/outdoor/military surplus store for a very reasonable price.

I recently got an enormous screwdriver set for Christmas :D was so stoked haha.

I don't find myself needing much of these, though. Never use an anti-static wristband, either (sue me...)

I've never had issues though. All my floors are wood, my tables are wood and metal so in general I don't worry much.

I have a little flashlight that's small enough, but I never use that either.

 

SATA to USB would probably come in handy for me, but I don't have one haha

It's also surprisingly rare...

 

I wonder why it's even called common sense.
