Taken from a general list on another post in order to expand it a bit.

I have a small tool bag, like electricians use only 862 less pouches. As a former contractor, I can easily go overboard on tools, so it takes some thought to have as many "multi use" items as possible and still be practical.

Toolkit & Maintenance
A basic toolbox with electrical tape, combination wrenches, screwdrivers, super glue, self‑tapping screws, wire cutters, white lithium grease, a utility knife, and a Klein multimeter will cover 90% of roadside fixes. I also carry spare fuses and a roll of butyl tape for emergency roof patches.

Multimeter is essential. Mainly used to check if power is there, but also to check for continuity, which is what I've used mine for mostly. Good thing to learn.
A multi screw/nut driver set as pictured attached. You an have one handle and use all the 1/4" bits for different sized and lengths. And also you can use them in any impact/drill you have for the win. I have the klein 11 in 1 but that can be a bit bulky in the stem, so also have a matco 1/4 one for the various bits. For portable toolbox, it's the 1/4 one. If you include a 1/4" ratcheting wrench, you can use this with the bits and get into very small places. Just buy a quality ratchet wrench as you might only be able to move it a few clicks at a time.

Adjustable pliers: I have a small channel lock one and a larger knipex. The knipex can be used as a pipe wrench in a pinch.

A pill bottle with extra razer knife blades.

You?

And credit card for tow truck when you left out that 1 tool you need.
 
I do carry an assortment of tools, but there is one thing you always forget. When I had an axle seal leak in the middle of nowhere I had to travel 180 miles round trip to get one socket and a breaker bar $150, and some oil.

Note: take a look in your manuals on how to manually retract slide outs and carry those tools always.
