Can I use items or card abilities that act on my own initiative outside the Action phase?

No — proactive actions and items are for the Action phase unless the card says otherwise. Reactive effects, such as a Trashcan Lid preventing damage or a weapon adding to Retaliate, can be used when the trigger happens. Without a stated timing, use the Rules of Ambiguity.
