Dogleg Reamer
A fantastic sounding tool that has a long screwdriver type end that is inserted into a freshly drilled hole.

This tool is widely used in aircraft manufacture to clean off holes drilled to avoid stress fractures.
Stork Beak Pliers
Ever needed to put something small out of a hole you have drilled only to have your arm and body in the way to see properly? With normal pliers there is a lot of hit and miss but stork beak pliers have bent over tips that reach into a hole and allow you to see in at the same time. Genius!
