Do you have a USB drive loaded with your favorite tools? What is your setup?

Do you have a USB drive loaded with your favorite tools? What is your setup? Personally, I have a 64GB flash drive with a few partitions in it.

I have one partition with all my windows based tools and the remainder of the free space from the other partitions.

In my other partitions I have everything from Linux boot disks (Tinycore, DEFT, Kali, WinFE <<Awesome for those who are just learning forensics OR want a bootable Windows installation with programs already in it.)

On another Partition I have some bootable tools like

Hiren's Boot CD,
SpinRite,
Windows 7 AIO Installer Disc(x86/64 All versions w/ N and enterprise),
Win XP AIO x86/64 Installer Disc ( I know, but it does recovery console too and we have some production floor machines (literally printing presses and punch machines and things like that) that still run it),
(Working on Making Win 8 and 8.1 AIO Installers)

And I put those in the last partition (Hirens to Windows AIO Installers) all on one partition using YUMI.

What are your favorite tools to bring with you?
