Everybody that didn't choose toothbrush as an option: You may be nasty.

I brush twice a day minimum, but I use a knife way more often.

I wish it was my plasma cutter, that's my favorite toy to use

This brings up a very grassroots possibility. 
We mod cars, computers, weapons. We like watches, gadgets, gizmos.  Some even mod nerf guns. So why not mod pocket knives or multi tools?

Relative low cost. Useful. Personal. Unique. Could be cool. Could even be a business opportunity. Or even something like custom order multi tools. 
Something to think about. 

It is a thing. The custom modded ones go for quite a bit on eBay.

Victorinox will lay up custom Swiss Army knives to individual order.  Or at least they used to.

It was not, however, cheap.  Whether "cheap" = / != "grassroots" remains a matter for editorial debate.

Probably a knife.  As in kitchen knife.    If we are talking cars probably a ratchet wrench.  

Gerber multitool and my flashlight. They are daily carry items.

Mine can sometimes be harder to find than a 10 mm socket.

Hands down. Everything project, from car trim, to house repairs to keeping squirrels out of the bird feeders, requires a screw.  I bet I use this once a week for the past 20 years. (OK, I burned out my first one after 15 years)  It's my go-to and I only swap to a drill-driver when I need more torque.

Really depends on the job I'm working on.  As I'm working on painting stuff right now, I'll show my favorite painting tools

Pocket knife.  The family joke is

"Dad, do you have your knife?"

"I have my pants on don't i?"

I carry a small 5.11 flashlight right next to it too

My smartphone. It's a flashlight, a level, a ruler, and most importantly, a way to look up how to do something.

My wallet.  It's a tool to bring me new parts that never get installed.

I carry an Opinel no.8. They're a classic and at under $20 if I lose it, I don't cry:

You can buy the No. 6 in a 10 pack, they're great to give as gifts.
