The intermodal shipping container, a/k/a the Connex box. There are millions of the damned things all over the world, in use every single day. They are stackable, can be locked together, attach readily to ships, truck trailer frames, and rail cars, and can bear enormous loads.
Tarps. A million tasks for them; they're incredibly versatile. Make a shelter, make a floor, make a carriage vessel, make a weather-proof housing for firewood or anything outdoors you want protected. Use it at a picnic; it's better than a blanket on the ground. Because of the threading they're still mostly effective even when a tear develops. And because of that same threading they can distribute weight and hold up against snow and rain buildup. Then you can just take it down, spray it with a hose if needed; it's good as new. Fold it up to a compact form, and toss it in a corner until you need it next. You are never far from a store or gas station that sells them for cheap. Always keep one in your trunk.

Those containers used to store Chinese Food. They are durable, compact, keep the food hot, and don't really leak. They also collapse into a plate if you choose too. My favorite thing might be they don't take up much space in the rubbish bin either. Great product, and must cost less than a cent.

Yes! I use them all the time. Combined with a hammer, most precisely destructive handheld piece of metal you could ask for.

The Wonder bra. Provides equally important leverage.

And make sure you have the right kind. The red ones are for flat drains like sinks and tubs. The black one with the extra bit is for the [poopier] because it can actually get a seal.

Carabiners, cheap, easy to use, super useful for just about anything, and the higher grade ones (30-ish USD) can hold up a truck. What else needs to be said?

Like what? I'm genuinely baffled as to what they're for but I see them sold everywhere.

They’re essentially used for clipping two objects together securely while still being simple to unclip. They can be used for things as minor as connecting your water bottle to a backpack or connecting a dog leash to their harness to more critical things such as ensuring that a construction worker doesn’t fall off a 200 foot skyscraper or securing a hot air balloon to the ground.

Graphite is a lot easier on cutting tools than steel, I'm betting the machinery that makes the graphite sticks requires very little maintenance.
