Before I start this list I am going to say none of these are affiliate links. I'm googling amazon to give OP ideas. None of these specific products that are recommended but it's a "WTF is that?" answer to some things I'm going to bring up.
I'm going to say a plunger is the first thing I buy for a new home (and learn to use it. The "innie flap" has a purpose.)
When it comes to tools that I think are common but by friends apparently don't own until things go wonky?
Wonderbar
A back up sump pump. (I've had to dig one out at 3 am during a power surge that fried my sump pump in the basement)
If there is no power - some way to manually remove the water. There are hand-cranked pumps available that I don't think people think about needing.
A refrigerator dolly. (Apparently it's called an appliance truck and you can find them for a LOT less than this)
Tarps. Just have 3 more
than you think you'd need. If a tree fell on your house and your "old lady neighbor 3 houses up" can you help? (I have a tarp issue. I will admit it. Once they start Tarp Hoarders Anonymous? I'll join)
A basic understanding of electricity and a labeled chart in your fuse box of what switches control what in the house. Let's pretend you're not home and there is some event that causes 2 foot of water in your basement. You need an idiot proof chart that says - TURN OFF THIS THIS AND THAT if Frosty has a meltdown near the dryer.
A clamp style volt meter. Becuase you never want to "think" a wire is not live and find out the hard way.
Tiny little screwdrivers that you think you'll never need unless you loose a nose pad off your glasses.
Spare garden hose that you're not attached to incase you need to use it reroute the run off from an ice dam or syphon out something crazy. (I call him the tribute hose... he just hangs out waiting for the day he's going to get cut up for parts)
Quikcrete. - Story time. My SO got annoyed at the siding on this little part of the house that stuck out about 14" and decided the day before an ice storm was the PERFECT time to redo the siding. That couldn't take more than an hour, right? NO! We found out that there wasn't a full wall behind the siding and about 2 hours before icepocalypse hit we were trying to find a way to pour a new footing for a structural support that apparently had never supported the structure. Long story short - sometimes you need stuff NOW and the hardware store is closed. fast drying concrete can be stored pretty much forever if you keep it away from humidity)
A come-along. Straighten out or pull what ever you want.
My shop vac is a popular item when things go wrong. I think that baby has spent more time in other people's houses than I have.
Vinegar. Lots of vinegar. It's hard for vinegar to go bad and too many people I know have had "OH - ICK" issues to not have several gallons on hand at a time. You can use it to kill a bunch of nastys. (and weeds if you decide having a pretty lawn is important)
A Bow. I consider this a tool. Some people think it's a weapon. I think it's a tool. You can take down supper or shoot a guideline up over the roof of a 2 story house if need be.
Chicken wire.
Ugh... I can't remember the name of this stuff - there is a tape that only sticks to itself. It's rubber. You can use it to seal leaks or fix your couch (I will circle back and see if I can rememeber what it's called if no one jumps in)
I think that's the list for the moment.
This will be an intersting post to follow. Thanks for making us think about things differently.
