More pharmacy specific than office-y, but:

The Decapitator

Counting spatula with a hook on the end. The "easy open" seals actually open easily when you can stab through them. I like these much better than the spats with the hook in the handle (oof ouch owie my wrists) mostly because that's one less movement you've gotta do and I'm also never going to change my ways. How do you guys even count with these uncomfortable abominations?

This um... pharmacy tool (Yeah idk what to call it either) is great for, say, opening amoxicillin suspension seals. Super useful to keep it by the FillMaster.

I like plastic baskets like these for organizing paper prescriptions. You can find something like these at any dollar store. 3 of them is what I prefer - legend drugs, CIII-Vs, and C-IIs, with the backtags (with the prescription number) facing you. If prescriptions are always being typed up at the same place, it becomes super easy to keep track of when you need to rubber-band a section (for example, we sorted controls by the thousands in terms of prescription number, i.e. Rx#s 1000-1999)

I had no idea these things existed till I worked in a Pharmacy. They don't always work, some caps just don't like to separate. But it's pretty easy most of the time. Generally it'll pop the outer cap off in seconds. safety cap removal tool
