I pack Charlton, Krause, callipers, scale (to 1/100 of a gram), 2x2 Mylar, Vinyl flips (real useful), x10 loupe, x20 binder pages, calculator (I want an abacus), and sometimes a box for paper currency.

Does anyone here pack cotton gloves and tweezers? Or anything else for that matter? Share your favorite products, like albums and such.

I have a pair of cotton gloves. I only use them when handling raw BU or MS coins.

I use latex gloves when putting expensive and AU+ coins into my Dansco. Otherwise, I have 2x2s, and coin tubes.

i usually just need my scale (if I'm segregating copper/zinc cents), my dual 10x/20x loupe, and my 10 fingers.

I have about 15 or more magnifying glasses. I carry one of about 4X to coin shows. Same one I use at home. All the rest are in a box. I have several scales. Years ago I took the batteries out and they too are in that box. I have lots of cottom gloves but use them working on my cars.
Albums of all types, lots of 2x2's, tape for taping them, those Whitman boxes for 2x2's, needle nose plyers to take the slides out of Albums. Lots of other things but seldom use them.

A few of those little flips
Loupe
Small scale
Cotton gloves
I think that's about it... I don't have a huge collection.
Interesting to see what others use, though.

Scale, magnifiers, 2x2s, stapler, vial of gold flakes (to remind me to keep my eyes on the "prize"), label maker, MS70... Especially latex gloves, for handling raw proof & BU coins, and to be taken to shows to handle a dealer's same, and avoid getting hands dirty from typical dealer cases.
