The things I use most commonly in a datacenter are:

Power screw driver (with assortment of bits that actually fit the screw heads).

Manual screw drivers (with assortments of bits that also actually fit the screw heads).

An assortment of drill bits and 10/32 tap for when someone uses a screw driver that does not fit the head of the screw properly and strips the screw head

Flash light
Pliers
Snips of all sorts
Electrician scissors
Laser thermometer as well as a digital psychrometer (for measuring ambient temperature and humidity)
Tape measure
Electrical tape
Wire marker booklets
Cat 5/Rj 11 crimper and ends
Basic rj45 continuity tester
Tone generator
Butt set
Volt meter
Amp clamp
Cable labeler
regular labeler

The tools you will need are totally dependant on what your role is and what your environment is.
