Tools
There are basic tools that everyone should have. You may need to do minor repairs to your home, generator or vehicle. You may need to fight a fire, install window coverings or build a water catchment system. You may even need to hoist debris
to rescue someone from a damaged building. There is no disputing the need for a basic set of tools.
Here's a list of some

you need them, you’ll be out of luck.
