Only Campy item at my place is a 15mm, aka peanut butter wrench. It's nice, but unless (until?) I buy a SimpleOne and the budge wheels, probably won't have much use for it.
Probably my favorite tools are a set of Bondhus allen wrenches. They sit out on my bench get used weekly, or more if tinkering. Do have a basic set of Park Tools and they were used to build my Hillborne, as well as some of my other bike builds and later conversions.
