You are allowed up to three different ones!
It would be good to hear reasons for choice!

Robinsons flat pack wheelbarrow. Mine's been abused for three years and is as good as new still. Also, it's lightweight which makes a massive difference when you're trying to push it up a muddy hill!
Tubtrugs, I use them for everything, feeds, water, raised trot poles, jump wings, for sitting on, to do bending around, to bath the dog... when they get stood on they just pop back into shape.

A good, strong pair of scissors. I hate the silly little ones that can't cut twine properly or bandages or tails. lol.
Don't know if it counts but Canter Mane and Tail Conditioner. I don't know how I could ever live without it.

1) Round Pen - made from 2nd hand security fence panels...lol so cheap but has changed my life
2) marquis hoof boots - all parts are replaceable makes them affordable
3) Monty Book - "from my hands to yours" does that count? It's like a well worn bible.

Def. my Dually's (girls have one each) wonderful piece of kit! Cowboy Magic mane and tail conditioner. Use a tiny bit, lasts for ages. Sudocrem - cheap and cheerful, slosh it on wounds, cracked heels, mud fever, sunburn.

Dually, Sandra William;s lead rope (doesn't freeze in winter and has lasted 4 years with no sign of wear) and my Cavello breeches with suede seat, (make me look as though I can ride as you don't move in the saddle in them!)

I love my step and store grooming box, use it for moveable mounting block, storing kit (not just grooming kit) and moving it around, also make good small jump blocks amongst other things. Mine has been well abused and looks as good as new! I also have a Aerborn Be Seen Be Safe Wrap Around Exercise Sheet that I adore- its not bright yellow so I used it for warming up etc too as it looks quite smart, but is super reflective if you do hack in it, I love it! (one of these incase people have not heard of them!) I also love polypads, and that is all I use on my horses back. They come in loads of colours, can be personalised, and look smart. Mine don't slip either (different horses do thought I believe) but I always chose polypads when given the choice Could keep going on but these are prob my top 3

My Dually. For obvious reasons. Have one in every size. My very long rope that I made after going on my Foundation course in 2000 and it is still going strong. My head torch that clips onto a baseball cap. Just got it and do not know how I managed without it.

Dually, cob size fits so many, am saving for pony size tho! Should come in pink tho.....
My grooming box! It's waterproof, holds loads and can be stood on too. Robinsons have them, called step n store I think. Tried many, will not find a better one! (pink)
My mounting step! Couldn't live without it! (pink)

Fal pro silver interactive leg wraps - they just work, take fluid from legs and help with circulation for some lameness problems. Rope halters and lines - any good quality and good weight ones with the right feel Big horse ball - makes things fun and helps no end.

Roma anti-rub shoulder guard, the best anti rub vest i have come across, so easy to put on, effective and washes fantastic! i have 2 so i can use one whilst the other is drying.
Hoof pick, i'm always losing them but i always find one just at the right time for random odd jobs. They make great screwdrivers!
Dustbin. Storing general stuff! rugs, feed, steaming hay and playing bob apple!

oh and my grooming box! Easi-step and carry is the type i think. Brilliant thing, holds loads of the random stuff I have in there and I use it all the time to stand on to plait, saves a lot of aching arms!
