This is the home of the heavy stuff, and space is tight. The spread-out picture is a poorly-edited composite because the desk wasn't big enough,
see full image here. Loads of stuff in here:
-
Clamp-on vise, can attach to the edge of the desk.
-
Thin baling wire. This stuff fixes everything duct tape can't. Particularly toilets that your suitemate can break better than he can fix.
-
Thin hanging wire. Great for hanging things from the suspended ceiling grid.
-
Paint scraper -- razor blade on a big handle
-
Universal power adapter with a dozen tips, fits almost everything and goes from 1.5V to 12V.
-
Little jar of 1/2" stainless sheet metal screws, these little guys are handy

US/metric hex key set in sleeve, 1/16" to 1/4" by 1/64s and 1.5mm to 10mm by .5mm.
-
Precision/jewelers' flathead and Phillips screwdrivers. The cheap ones but they work.
-
100-piece security bit set. The bit I need to take apart the electronic door locks is in there...
