One thing not mentioned is a continuity tester. It's an inexpensive pen light device you use to complete a circuit and tell from one end to the other if you are trying to trace a run. More for post contruction work.
I was a residential electrician until 25 tears ago. My must have tools were the lineman pliers, a large screwdriver that double as a wood chisel on occasion, a small philips and a pocketknife....the kind with a blunt tip, which I use for all wire stripping. All that would fit in my pockets and I could always grab a hammer if needed.
