Having power tools at your home or bug out location is a great way to perform repairs when the time calls.
But what would you do if the power went out and you had no way of recharging your batteries, thus no way of repairing things after SHTF?
I had given this a lot of thought when I was preparing to move into my house out in the country. I took a look over my granddad’s tools and was dumbfounded because the answer lies with 60 year old or so tools!
These good ol’ non-power tools worked then, and will again if it ever hits the fan.
Take a look at the tools you most likely would need to repair damage to your house and look out for them at garage sales or on craigslist.
