Tool to add to your box: found useful
 
Believe it or not, I've found that a watch case opener (a specific type) has become one of my favorite vehicle body/trim piece and snap-plug removers.

Take off the two nuts for removing the back face of watches, and then you're left with a very useful tool. It has a dull blade at each end, one rounded, the other flat. There's a good coating on the tool and the ends have no real sharp corners or points to scratch the plastic work where a screw driver or a door removal tool can. And, the steel used is quite strong.

I've used this on 3 cars now, over the course of 6 years, and some of the paint coating is just now showing wear. I'm currently using it to take off the interior door trim pieces.

You can see it without the battery cover remover pegs in that pic.
