A106. What tools will we need on the Moon? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

To go to the Moon the tools we will need rocket ships and space stations (although it can be done without the latter). We will need simple hand-held power tools for use around the base for construction and for fixing robots. Some tool will be needed to clean the carbon dioxide out of the air and replenish the oxygen, at least until we can get greenhouses started. We will need tools to prepare our food and deal with our wastes and clean the water. We will need tools to communicate with people at home and to provide the latest news and entertainment.
