What tools do you carry around for when the installed OS just won't cut it?

I have...

DSL (of course) - with lots of extensions, both tools and other stuff (but thank goodness for "dsl base"!)

Both flavors of DSL bootdisks - USB and regular.

Tom's Root Boot - sometines you just need a single floppy OS

Windows NT Offline Password and Registry Editor Linux (when the site works, its < here >) - because people forget passwords and expect me to fix it! And with this, I can!

What do have?

Tomsrtbt both floppy & CD (made a 2floppy variant with loop files and addons)
Barts Boot CD (Golden dragons version with nero/trueimage + virus checkers)
WinXPE boot CD + utils
Insert CD - Linux boot/utility Cd This is Damn ™ brilliant and takes over from the knoppix cd as my number one rescue disk. Can't recommend it more highly.
