I would say you need a good multi tool (Leatherman) and a few usb drives 1 needs to be read only (used in virus removals).

Everything else is nice to have but not used most of the time. Also most of the kits i have seen pre made are full of cheaply made tools that break.
I have been doing repairs for 6 years mostly onsite and I do not carry all that other carp. I do keep the rest at the shop but I buy the tools mostly from sears (craftsmen) so when I break it I can go get a new one.
