For example a large heavy wrench.
Aww, man! Why didn't I think of that?
Large Heavy Wrench
*Self-explanatory, but most likely an adjustable wrench (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adjustable_wrench)
*Heavy, so the swing speed depends on strength (and a bit of dexterity)
+Heavy, so it does CRUSH/BASH damage.
+Facing a G'nomish machine for 10 seconds repairs it? (depends on intelligence)
-Blunt, so it doesn't do any poke/slice/etc...
-There are better weapons out there, considering the weight and cost of the LHW.

Baloon could work like the levitation accessory (dont remember what was it exactly) except its only usable by a gnome.
There should be some additional factor to make it different though as as far as I know gnome can use the levitation accessory too.
The main difference would probably be that the G'nomish Balloon Backpack can be brought off the ground manually, no shuffling through inventory. If not, I guess that the Backpack could be used for extra storage...?

Sounds like a fair solution with the backpack.
The floating accessory you have to keep off-hand in your inventory to make it usable.
Backpack would work only when held in hand.
When player stands on the ground, on use, backpack lifts him into the air.
When player is in the air, on use, backpack lands.

Backpack like this would take up a hand slot but it makes it very usefull even in combat.
Player could land on the ground, fire a gonne and then take off again quickly not letting enemies on the ground do him any harm.
Also explosives could be used while in air. On use theyd fall to the ground and explode.
This baloon backpack idea would be really cool and offer new fun tactics like these.
