A Dozen Picks and Probes

Fundamentally, these are dental-style tools with a huge variety of ends, and their compelling benefit is that this variety allows you to tackle virtually any task that requires carefully moving (or removing) very small metal, plastic, paper, or wood pieces. These are very inexpensive—less then $1.25 each, and even less if you spring for two sets (buy one for a colleague). You'll be very glad you have them available in your tool drawer.
