I personally always have one USB stick with me that has a live usb boot of Fedoraon it, but I just saw the new video from Linus tech tips and thought about extending it a bit.
He mostly talked about windows tools, but I think I will add

What are you using or do you have recommendations?

    Maybe not the same, but a knoppix CD was part of my toolkit for field work for many years. Stuff I did with it:

    • Retrieve or fix data from systems that could not boot.
    • Scan systems infected with boot viruses (clamscan), and wipe entire drives if necessary
    • Test various network issues: DHCP, DNS, tcpdump, and so on because Windows tools were pretty bad for a while
    • Bypass various Windows restrictions on user’s systems
