Something useful that I expect most people are aware of are crows feet wrenches. I spent ages trying to get to a nut undone on a high pressure hose of my power steering pump (that seemed specially designed to make it almost impossible to reach any connection). A set of these: Laser 3/8" Crow's Foot Wrench Set 10 Pieces | Wrenches | Screwfix.com two 15cm extensions and it was undone in seconds.

Ok I got one more - Electronic Lazer Distance Measure. Bought in Aldi for 27 euro, 30m range, accurate to 1.5mm. So East to measure verticals that would have required faffing with a tape measure, trying to get it to not collapse, or having to fetch a ladder. Very very nice gadget. No more having the tape fall off the thing to be measured when halfway across the room. No more getting mud on the tape, no more buying a tape measure several times a year ect.
