OK, so we all know you gotta have duct tape and WD-40. That's just too easy. But what ELSE are just the handiest things to have around?
I'll kick it off. "Jet line"
Some may know it as poly line. We use it as electricians to pull wire. I have even collected scrap from job sites and reeled it up on something later. It is strong as CRAP and you can waste it all you want. It's so cheap that you can tie something down, and when you get where you're going, just cut it and throw it away. Tie it down with some more later. I keep half a dozen of these around. Couple in my Tahoe. One in the junk drawer. Couple in the garage. And on out in the tool shed. It is rated at 210 lbs but I have literally been in situations where several grown men were yanking on it to pull wire through conduit. So it is stronger than its rating. I use it almost every day for something.

What about you guys? What do you find to be a must have around your house that many of us may not have thought about? I don't care if it is a tool, kitchen gadget, electronic gizmo, whatever. There are no rules. Tell us about something handy to have around that may have escaped us.
