Rust remover is really useful.If any parts have rust on them, they're not going to work very well.

Actually, I really do find that a knife is super useful, at the very least keep a box cutter handy all the time. You never know what you need to cut - packaging on new parts, rim tape, zip ties, whatever. I only rarely use mine to cut my friends' tires.

Something that I find can actually save alot of shop maintenance money:

Always keep your allen wrenches with you it is a must,I have almost never gone out to ride and not used them.  this being said make sure you get good, durable ones that will last you.

I actually find that a good multi tool is the best. Mine has allen keys, a chain tool, tire levers (though not the STRONGEST, I'd rather use my Park Tool levers but in a pinch, I suppose...), some screwdriver heads, and some other goodies.
