One thing I use more than 50% of my tools is a headlamp. It's invaluable when doing any type of work when my hands are busy, ESPECIALLY when I'm working with electric and the power's off in the room.
This is the one I have. https://www.amazon.com/Coast-FL70-405-Focusing-Headlamp/dp/B01BD4HDME/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1510195018&sr=1-2-spons
If they have a lot of trees, a good pole saw or handsaw is useful. https://www.amazon.com/Fiskars-Inch-Pruning-Saw-Handle/dp/B005X5WRC6/ref=sr_1_10?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1510195063&sr=1-10

I could think of a bunch more. Wire strippers, linemen's pliers, a box of wire nuts, a good socket set, a good hammer, circular saw, carpenter's level, speed square, a good set of earplugs, really depends on what they need.
Interesting, any idea if such a thing exists in the market? Sounds pretty straightforward to do with current tech.
Is this the kinda thing?

Would probably work but you might have to modify the part to make it fit, sawstop isn't the only fence that has the magnifying glass version.
I'd just spring for a DRO personally.
It's always the last place you look.
But you appear to have overlooked this:

I'd remove the tree. It's too big to be that close to the house. It has branches hitting the roof, and that's going to damage the shingles. It's susceptible to disease without proper air circulation, which it's not getting up against the house. It needs water, and the roof, gutters, and proper drainage away from your house will keep it from getting enough. (and you don't want to get the hose out to do a deep soaking watering right next to your house) Someone made a mistake planting that tree there.
You do not need to climb the tree or get a ladder to take care of this. Buy yourself a pole saw/pruner and just start lopping off branches. It's not hard.

Once you've done all you can with the pole saw, you can take the rest of the trunk down with a $20 hand saw or bow saw and some patience.
I currently have one of these https://www.amazon.com/Fiskars-7-14-Power-Lever-Extendable-Pruner/dp/B01N4M7ZJ4/ref=sr_1_sc_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1499298075&sr=8-3-spell&keywords=fiskaers+pruner+pole+saw

One of these (ryobi equiv)

And a fair amount of Fiskar's hand and bypass pruners.
