Tools on board

I am in the process of getting a tool kit together to have onboard my boat.  I am looking for suggestions on what tools I should have. 
Thanks for any suggestions!

Before you get the first hundred replies -- this is for a 192, right?  So space is at a premium.

Yes, it's a 192

I carry a basic tool tray.  Wrenches 5/16-5/8. Sockets 3/8 drive 3/8-7/8. 3/8 ratchet #2 philips and a flat utility knife and a adjustable wrench  wire cutters and needle nose players 

Now do Metric

I carry a good oil filter wrench also. Comes in handy if you need to replace a fuel filter when out on the water. I always lube the o-ring and install hand tight but they are always a PITA to get off!!

I have an old laptop bag with the sockets and wrenches Al mentioned as well as a multi-meter,  and several types of pliers/wire cutters. One of the pockets has 16 and 14 gauge wire as well as butt connectors and electrical tape.
Spares kit has silicone stretch tape, worm gear clamps, fuses. Carry a rechargeable battery pack. But the best tools I have are in my wallet. A Sea-Tow membership and a spare $100 in twenties.

and then a tool box as well, with a bunch of various tapes, zip ties, pliers, razor blades, wire connectors, wires, screw drivers, etc etc in it.. 

have never really needed all of it, but for some reason everyone comes to my boat when they need something

I bought the craftsman set @J3ff mentioned. Heck of a deal. They even had a promotion, to get $30 in reward points when you spent over 35 or something, to use on next purchase. Looks like a nice too set.
