+1. I really want to like the 4/5/6 Y-wrench, I use it whenever a bolt is out in the open, but too often it can't spin because things are in the way: I'm looking at you, seat bolts and bottle cages! I bought a PH-5, and love it to death. I may also buy PH-4/6 eventually as well, but I'm not buying the whole set. Maybe someday I'll see a generic set of metric p-handle hex wrenches with ball-ends on the long sides. (this would be great if it weren't torx)

I'll also nominate the chainring bolt holder. On the rare occasion where it is needed, it's near impossible to hold still. Works no better than a bigass flathead screwdriver.

Not quite a tool, but 'glueless' patches. A.k.a. stickers.
