Aside from the usual stuff, I love my new electric collar. Finally broke down and got a Dogtra 1902. Love it, love it, love it. It enables me to let my dogs off leash without worrying that a recall will get blown off.

Best daily item - Chuck-It with the chuck-it ultra balls. Nothing is as efficient at wearing them out in the backyard with limited time.
Best "there's a malinois in my house" item - crate! even though my 5 yr old doesn't need one, I literally could not survive with my 2 yr old without it.
Best leaving the house item - TriTronics Sport G3 collars - one remote two collars - without this they would never be off leash in the fields.

Even old knotted filthy ratty ones get cut down to become little drag lines.
Ok I'm so glad you said this! As I was reading I was shaking my head agreeing - cotton long lines were my poor man's e-collar - but I felt embarrassed because mine never stay nice and coiled. They are dirty, ratty, frayed but still hold up. I have had several of the same ones for years. But when you have 20 or 30 feet - HOW can you keep it coiled all nice? It must be people who don't live with malinuts who have time to coil and care for their long lines. ;-)
The first thing that came to my mind was the Chuck-It ball launcher. There are many days where I cannot get to the park or the training club, and the dogs are desperate for exercise.
I have seen folks use that from a lawn chair. (Yes, folks on this very board! )
Are you spying on me? I did that yesterday... (Tired from work, hyper DS, nice warn evening sun, beer. Must have a lawn chair)

CRATES!! My terrier taken in off the street would have been headed for the county shelter if not for a crate.
Bait bag is another essential. I went over to the humane society without it once and hated having dogs mug my pocket and smash the treats into the fabric. Holding them in your hand is not an option. Most of those dogs required both hands. And a few of them gave me a look that told me to keep my hands away from teeth when I reached to get the bait bag out of their mouth. It attached pretty firmly so I could just let them fight it out with the bag and not get involved.
#2. Prong collar. Bailey, our Mal, became a completely different, and controllable, dog when we started using it.
#3. Football-shaped Hol-ee Roller balls. Saw them only twice in the closeout section of PetsMart and bought a bunch. Never found them again. They are Bailey's favorite toy for playing fetch and for doing house searches. They clean easily and don't get as soggy and messy from doggie slobber.

The phrase somehow reminded me of how many of these long lines I have ....
