We periodically have a discussion of favorite cheap and useful boat stuff.  
Here are two additions:

Scar Pins: Until a few years ago, I had never heard of or seen Scar Pins.  I 
have had a set on my boat for several years now and love them.  Simple and 
quick to attach and remove and easier to use than cotter pins or rings for 
keeping shrouds and stays from rotating.  I found a good source for them at a 
reasonable cost:

Compact tool set- This set is my go-to on the boat.  Had it for 3 years and no 
rust.  I love having both the deep and shallow sockets plus extensions in one 
compact set, not to mention the screwdriver bits.
