What is everyone default setup, or "must have" software for rescue USB flash drive?

What boot/tools can never miss on such hardware? Like for example I was thinking of linux/windows .ISO and on-demand scanner apps to completly strip infections. But then I started making a long list of "usefull stuff" probably mostly needed only in specific cases, but since the USB key is big enough, what would you fit in? Tool to securely erase data from user PC? Password recover tools?

I have an old USB drive so capacity is limited to 4 Gb. Here are the bootable isos that I have

1. Windows 7 ERD
2. Hiren's v 10
3. Wary Linux with GParted.

What is the point to have Lazesoft if you have Hiren's already? I see they did a W10 version now: Download – Hiren's BootCD PE
I don't use Lazersoft anymore, Hirens Boot PE, Hirens Boot (for old machines), Kaspersky Rescue Disk (for just in case), Acronis True Image, Minitool Partition Wizard 9 Free, Spinrite, Slitaz and Windows Installers ISOs.
Everything on 16GB USB flash drive.

I don't waste time trying to fix software, I just carry my pendrive with a booteable Windows image and am always ready to format the heck out of that machine. :ROFLMAO:
