Mezer Tools by Bayden Systems is a great utility for web developers. It provides you with an easy way to get exact screenshots as well as measuring with screen-calipers, color-grabbing, hex conversions, and generating psuedo-random text. It sits in the systray and provides the functionality that you commonly find in seperate tools/utilities. Check it out at: http://www.bayden.com/mezer/

Dameware Mini-Remote Control v5
After putting off the upgrade as long as possible, I finally broke down and purchased the upgrade from v3.x. I was immediately impressed with the dual-monitor support, x64 OS support, and the transparent windows abilities. This product is great example of remote-administration/support software that allows an admin to install the daemon and start it remotely and then connect to it… all with just domain-rights and the ip/name of the machine.
For those of us that need to manage hundreds of desktops across multiple buildings or locations, this is a great way to “extend” your reach and still be able to show the user how to do something (all from the comfort of your office).
