Got this thing last season.

Not as cheap and reliable as that classic Ryobi but has a few bonuses:
- mad small
- charges via microUSB so don’t need to carry extra chargers
- the 6000 mAh battery (not a lie) can also be used as a phone (controller) charger
- flashlight (silly bonus I guess)
Quality/origin are questionable but it lasted us an entire season. Forgetting to use it before a match, that’s topic for another time.
I just got this yesterday, and (with one day of experience) this electric screwdriver is a steal for $15, and has USB-C charging. It is significantly thicker than yours though.
A square and 4 baking scales. Never underestimate the difference a properly balanced and squared robot makes

This one is a life saver too, definitely not as thin, but has enough torque and battery life to put together an entire field wall and game elements and then some.
Scissors. Scissors for zipties.

and for places that you can use them a cable tie gun like this is the way to go https://www.amazon.com/Electriduct-Cutting-Fastening-Adjustable-Tension/dp/B00B52NYNM?th=1``
