I am pretty lucky, when my grandpa moved to a retirement complex, he gave me all of the tools and such I could carry across the great state of Iowa. I have hand drills (which in many cases are easier to use than my power stuff for small jobs), lots of hand saws, clamps, regular hand tools such as socket sets, screw driver sets both + and - and torex, allen keys, channel locks, a mold for making lead miniballs, vise, bolt cutter.
I am also heavly in to solar power and have sized all my power tools so I can run them from my 2KW inverter, chain saw, hedge clippers, vacuums, drill press, mini lathe, grinders, band saws, radial arm saw, sawsall, jig saws, soldering Iorns (big and small), gas welding rig, silver soldering stuff.. you know all the normal stuff you need to fix things.
hope the list helps.
