Electric Tire Pump
I'd recently been on the lookout for a tire pump to carry in the aircraft - after finding my new ABW tire with only 4 PSI on its first overnight. Last week I purchased the Bosch tire inflator. So far I'm very impressed. It handles the low PSI tires with ease and incredibly fast. I have a USB charger in my Bearhawk so that part is fine, and I will soon buy a jump pack with a USB charger too. But I think it'd easily handle a flat tire from empty. It's surprisingly lightweight and small enough to easily fit in my onboard kit. A feature I like is that you simply set the tire pressure you want on the digital scale, and the pump stops when it reaches that pressure.

Electric Screwdriver
Two other aircraft builders recommended a small Bosch electric screwdriver and loaned me one to try. I was so impressed that I've also added that to my workshop kit. It's mainly for removing panels for inspection purposes. I've used it already and I estimate I'll be able to remove all panels on a 100 hour check between charging. It's very lightweight, fits into the palm of my hand, and is slower rotation than a battery drill. There's very little risk of over torquing a screw. Incidentally, Bosch make two very similar looking electric screwdrivers. I got the one with the variable speed trigger.
