That, and hand tools
I don't even have an electric drill, much less a rotary tool, or an actual machine tool.
In fact, the only 'power tool' I have (besides guns − lol) is a 12V Viair-brand air pump for filling my tires, and I only got that because there's hardly any other option these days.
There are no real gas stations anymore, which leaves the Pay-As-You-Go type of pump now found everywhere else.
Unfortunately, the air hoses of most of those are on a pulley connected to a 10-ton winch that only spins in one direction.
I'm sure you can guess which one.
