I guess because of the kind of diving we do I need to carry more equipment than most but my save a dive kit is up to two big takle boxes. Aside from tools, some of the most used items are hoses (especially inflator), o-rings, wire ties, rubber tubing.
I always carry an extra mask, fins and reg for out of town trips. Oh, I carry an extra dry suit. I'd hate to drive to Florida, Missouri or up to Lake Superior and have my diving ended by a torn neck or rist seal.

How 'bout throwing in the kitchen sink for good measure.

"It's a heavy sport"
BTW,
All the things we carry are things that we have needed at one time or another. I started out with no save a dive kit and added things as I needed them. Keep in mind much of my diving takes place where there are no dive shops and we must be self sufficient. the bottom line is that anything that can stop me from diving and cannot be replaced on location and has a reasonable chance of failure, is backed up.
If I was diving through out of a resort I wouldn't need to carry as much.

I could easily do without having some of these things in my kit, because of my equipment, preferences, and the type of diving I do.
spare fin straps - You shouldn't need these if you have spring straps.
defogger - spit works just as well, and takes up less space.
extra wt belt buckle - Probably not needed... I keep one because I have so many.
decongestant, dramamine/bonine/protien bar/bandaids/sunscreen/etc - I have a seperate first aid kit in the car that has all this stuff. I don't consider it part of my save-a-dive kit.
wrenches/toots/etc - I have an all-in-one scubatool that keeps everything I need handy, and saves a lot of space
DIN adapter - only handy if you use DIN
Spare reg - nice to have, but a bit bulky and expensive unless you already have an unused reg kicking around.
IP gauge, reg parts and hoses - great if you're accustomed to working on your regs at the beach. I'd rather do it at home in a clean environment, or have it serviced professionally.
HID battery fuses - Good if you have something that needs them.
Wingnuts - handy, but only if you dive with a backplate.
Money/phone card - good to have, but the denomination/form is up to you.
I'd add a sharp knife and some aquaseal to what you have there, but it seems otherwise like a good list. I left the remaining items below.
Of course, if you're good with duct tape, you could probably do without the mask strap, zip ties, knife straps, braided nylon, lanyard slides, and assorted connectors.
