yes.
Brace and bits,
screwdriver,
hammer + chisel,
a few hand planes
a few handsaws
axe.
These tools' biological battery power source can be easily re-charged on the go by inserting waste vegetable matter.
Lubricate regularly with beer (or other fermented waste vegetable matter).
That's what i mostly use; I'm dealing with wood mostly though - and of course i do it in order to pass time, not to make up rent, so slower is just fine for me.
Scythe is worth having just for the coolness of the word - unfortunately I don't have any use for one.
Adze would be another good one I'd like to find cheap and sharpen up.
But I'll grant the power tools awkward situations like up a ladder, stretching over precariously, a battery drill one handed can be useful.'

I have seen battery adapters that let you use one brand’s batteries on another brand’s tools. Though I think some newer batteries now use proprietary controllers in addition to proprietary formats.

Yeah, expectation of them doing HP style bullshit makes me want to refuse the entire thing.
Plus as long as hand tools do a good enough job there is something rather satisfying about using them. So much quieter too, I can hear the local cats if one of them turns up and wants a head scratch. Or if I have gloves on, a tummy rub.
