Camelback Classic 2L hydration pack. Perfect for on the bike so you don't need to stop for a drink every so often. Just a wee every now and then. Even has a small pouch at the back. Perfect for when the missus is on the back to keep the toll money.
Any Kriega kit. R25 rucksack is the dogs dangles. The toll roll is in constant use.
Cyclepump compressor. Expensive but pumps real quick and is sturdy.
Leatherman wave. Enough said about it already.
Cadac 6 can cool bag. Goes with us on holiday for sandwiches and perishable food. Either on top of the pannier or inside. Perfect for mid day snacks whilst out and about or taking lunch to work. Bought mine in South Africa about 11 years ago. Need to replace it soon.
Gaerne Balance boots. Like your favourite pair of slipons and you can walk comfortably in it. Very sturdy and constructed from only 7 pieces of leather. Waterproof, all the protection you need for the road even if it is a trails boot. Probably will fit those with big calfs.
Helinox chairs. Fold small and very comfy.
The future is whatever colour you want.

Compare the price to European branded ones. Not sure if this is the exact Chinese one I bought, but, the quality of the one I bought shocked me, in a good way, I work in QC, how they make this at this price!!!!!!

Big thumbs up for Makita. Orbital sander, Hammer drill, Cordless drill / screwdriver really nice 'quality' feel to them and rubber power leads that coil up smoothly not shitty plastic kink all over the place junk. Never buy anything else. Better than my De Walt stuff.
Bought a Makita cordless drill last year to replace my De Walt. Been very impressed, battery lasts a long time as well. Good bit of kit
BMW Rallye Jacket & Trousers (comfortable, durable & great in a spill)
Daytona Evo Sport Boots (saved my ankle according to the surgeon)

I’ve had mine since 2001!! Still in good nick and waterproof.
+1 for Makita cordless tools.
Like others, I've had many cordless tools over the years....and made the same mistake of buying cheaper brands - I only buy Makita now, there products are simply in a different league with regard to built quality.
Also, if you go onto the Makita website you can get excellent support with parts lists ect... These items are built to last, and if something does eventually fail (non of mine have incidentally), you can strip them down, service and fix them!
Be careful not to buy the fleabay/amazon imitation "Makita Compatible" batteries.... a fraction of the cost of genuine Makita products, but is a false economy, since they will inevitably fail prematurely (online reviews highlight issues associated with these imitation batteries).
This portable Makita DMP181 Tyre Inflator for the workshop is brilliant... does all my motorcycles/bicycles/cars ect. No messing with air compressor hoses ect...

Got a couple of knock off batteries in my Makita drill and they've been OK for years.
But for this part I would have dismissed Bmw's Indicator System on my old GSA as complete and utter rubbish.
I could not live with it the way it was set up, and most certainly have gone back too another bike, if not for this special add-on part.
It is not perfect but does make things much more manageable IMO.
