Kit Knife
Chisels, Utility Knives, Planers, Putty Knives and Scrapers
The home repair tool kit is a lot different from what it used to be. When I was younger, there were no power tools in my father's vast array of tools. The brace-and-bit and folding wooden rule have gone. Now, everything needs to be plugged in or recharged. Not a bad thing at all, but not being a carpenter, like my father and his father before him, I wonder how mobile power tools make the professional carpenter.
However, the jobs to be done remain the same and the rule for buying tools remains the same, buy the best you can afford. So, let's take a look at a few modern tools that would make up a very well-equipped set of tools.
Chisels: generally speaking, you will need a basic set of four chisels: quarter, half, three-quarters and one full inch in width. The are used for fine work or places where a saw can't get. If you need to cut across the wood's grain make a shallow cut at either end of work area, otherwise the chisel will rip the wood too far. The cuts act as barriers - cut off points. Tap the chisel with a wooden or plastic mallet to preserve your chisels (or the side of a hammer, if you must). Chisels are sold sharp, but sharpen them up again.
Pro Tip: buy or make a cloth wallet to keep them in to protect the sharp edge. Beware of buried nails!
Utility Knives: or, in the UK, Stanley knives are razor sharp. Most are retractable now for safety reasons. The blades come with two sharp edges, so when it becomes blunt, unscrew the handle and reverse the blade. Spare blades are kept in the handle too. Use the knife for any use you need, the blade is tough and versatile. Cut vinyl, linoleum, plastic, almost anything.
Pro Tip: NEVER just toss the knife into your bag. Put it in and make certain that the blade has been retracted. Millions of professionals have cut their hands on open blades while rummaging in their toolbags.
Planes: the plane is used for planning wood. It is for fine work and the blade has to be sharpened regularly. There is also a power planer, which makes short work of stripping thin layers of wood off, say, a slightly over-size door.
Putty Knives: a putty knife is a tool with a very flexible blunt blade for spreading putty on widows or adhesive on walls. These latter knives are often 12" wide, window putty knives are 1" wide. Make sure you clean them thoroughly after use.
Pro Tip: if you forget to clean the knife after use, rub it clean on coarse sandpaper.
Scrapers: scrapers are made for removing old paint from timber, but they are versatile. A blunt scraper is virtually useless, so keep it sharp with some sandpaper or wet-and-dry. Most decorators find the 1.5" scraper the most useful although non-decorators usually buy the 3" scraper. If you keep it sharp, you have to be careful of two things: leaving it in your bag when not in use, as for utility knives above and, when in use, that you don't drive the scraper into the wood you are scraping, especially if it's an old, slightly rotten window frame.

What 6 items would you use for an earthquake survival kit?
for example a knife torch matches tv and list why you would use them
bushman knife- thick blade can be used as a small machete for building traps or shelter and it comes with a partially hallow handle designed to easily convert into a throwing spear.
couple water proof lighters- for fire
a camelback- holds about 3 liters of water and easily fits into packs or you can wear it so its easier to carry then water bottles or canteens and it comes with a drink tube so you wouldn't have to stop and take it out of your pack.
condor or blackhawk backpack- large capacity pack with several small pouches for quick access to important items. very durable and comes with straps and mollee webbing to attach more pouches or gear. I would just stock it with as much food as possible then fill it with anything i find useful as i eat the food. and alot of them come with a quick ditch strap, in case you need to lighten your load and bug out in a hurry.
portable radio and spare batteries- allows you to get in contact with other people who have radios so it can allow you to call for help or just find other survivors.
Rifle- many natural disasters cause looting, need something to defend yourself, and depending on where you live you can also hunt with it. I'd bring my ar-15 carbine. small caliber rounds means you can carry alot of ammo, accurate up to about 600 yards against a human sized target with good ammo, optics, and a skilled shooter and its compact design ,large mag capacity and low recoil make it effective in close quaters.
