I had some pliers and a screwdriver, but I lost the screwdriver somewhere. Don't know much about them anyway.
When you lose your pliers and/or screwdriver use your hammer.
Lose the hammer? - find a big rock.
"Don't know much about them anyway"?.....Skill level = "none"..;)

For the OP.
Find your nearest Harbor Freight. Stroll and "contemplate".
Almost free stuff: A "few" 2x4, 2x6 etc. Chunks of "finished" wood are handy for just about everything - including campfires.
Air supply.
Consider a CO2 system.
Sure - 12v compressors will work (slowly), 110V great if you have power, but a CO2 system will really do wonders (quickly) for a low TV or Trlr tire.
You can combine your own components for about 1/2 the price of the systems from the complete system suppliers, like this
example - Link(Good source for Q & A, info, properties of C02, etc.)
This info has been posted on several off-road forums -
DIY link -
"Build Your Own C02 Tank System - High Quality and Lowest Cost"
Total cost for all *new* components (aluminum tank), "dedicated" (quality - *not* HF) C02 hose & regulator was $162. about a year ago. (I supplied my own mounting bracket).
LOTS of places to fill: Home beer brewer's supply, welding supply, paint ball supply, and of course - compressed gas suppliers.
