The Lord Humungus talks about the need for quality hand tools for economic collapse or SHTF. Given that we’re quite accustomed to our power tools, it may be quite a shock when we need to rely on hand tools only to find out we didn’t have what we needed! While I prefer to have a good assortment of my own tools, it couldn’t hurt to know who the neighborhood carpenter or auto mechanic is.

Gloves , gloves , and more gloves !! both good leather ones for heavy work and the light nylon and rubber ones for everything else . Protect your hardest working set of tools( your hands )from injury and infection . Think of it as preventative medicine
I haven’t seen a Yankee screwdriver in ages, and had forgotten all about them. I came across a couple old hand-crank drills the original ‘cordless’ drill) at an auction last week too. I better start paying a little better attention at the auctions!
Hey: Two tools that I’d suggest for people to find: A Yankee screwdriver( industry standard before the advent of battery powered screw drivers).It would allow a craftsperson to either place or extract a screw w/o power. The other tool I’d suggest is a Brace. For drilling holes. Garage sales and/or specialty tool sales. Oh, and a decent set of drills for the Brace. If you want pictures of these, I can provide them.

I’ll look into those suggestions. The yankee-style screwdriver looks like a good idea. Thank you.
