Tools? There is a minimal set of tools that will cover a very large number of common household and automobile repairs.
I have had a great track record with nothing but a pair of vice-grips and a 4-bit combination screwdriver (2x flathead, 2x Phillips).
Add to that a claw hammer, pocketknife, roll of duct tape, can of WD-40, toilet plunger, needle-nosed pliers, and a few cheap plastic-coated wire coat hangers, and you should be able to bodge or jury-rig anything long enough to get a real repair done over the weekend.
For instance, did you know that one arm of the tweezers in a Victorinox pocketknife can tighten eyeglasses screws?
