Easy one, my CardPoint Card ;)

Sorry forgot the reason why....

My CardPoint card, without which I couldn't go for a pint at lunchtime and survive the afternoons... ha ha ha...

My Leatherman (or better said men as I have a few,) even though I don't get to crack open PCs + Servers as much as I used to, the Leatherman is truely a IT Gadget, especially the newer ones with USB sticks. Next choice would be my SD Card USB stick (USB Stick where you insert SD Cards), at work or home I use SD Cards due to the interchangability + upgradability, as the SD Cards get more capacity so does my USB Stick.

I'm with Frank one the USB Stick and SD cards. Amazing what you can store on them these days. Whole bootables OS's if you want.
