An OBD scanner
A decent flashlight
A mini screwdriver set
A multimeter
An outlet polarity tester
These immediately come to mind.
If you are not comfortable working with electricity, you shouldn't be working with electricity. Following, a multimeter and an outlet polarity tester are not really things normal people should have.
Ok for the rest.
A multimeter is absolutely a good thing to have. Even for small electronics, you can do simple diagnosis like if a wire is broken, if an audio jack fucked, or even if a battery has any charge left.
