I would add a few more things.
Bigger bag, or second bag.
Second 12v light and battery power source.
Second "drill" with a polish wheel. (just my preference... more toys)
Shade screens or umbrella. Just ask..
DryStar or Liquid Resins dry out tool in addition to the mini torch.
Sealing tape, rags and water bottle for cooling hot glass,
and a large torch for warming cold glass.
and did you forget the toothpaste?

I'm not even going to list what I carry because I've been asked several times "where's the kitchen sink." I think they were just jealous of my ice cold tea... and premium beef jerky.

I would always add the UV resistant dome (great in the summer when its really sunny, or when it starts raining midway through a repair), and although its not exactly a repair tool, my VIN etch equipment (can quite often get you on the car in the first place). Additionally I never go out without my name badge, uniform and promotional literature (it all helps, and tilts the balance in my favour on those customers that need a little bit more "helping" with making a decision.

You know glassdoctor, I really don't know, but somehow I've managed to do it, and apparently you have too.
