Here is a list of ours so far:

- generator
- gardening hoe
- 3 different types of shovels
- 3 hammers
- chain saw
- hand saw
- cordless drill
- pliers
- measuring tape
- screw drivers
- rake
- hammer

I'm probably forgetting some. If I remember, will add to my list later. What are some of your basic tools?

a vise
wrenches, ratchets, dh has a whole toolbox full of stuff like this
pry bars
