What tools do you carry for changing tires?

We bought tire insurance when we bought our trailer in 2019 and thought we were covered until recently having a blowout. We were leaving Gulf Shores and almost on I 10 when somebody yelled out we had a tire problem. We made the call and our insurance only covered $100 while the repair guy charges $250. We had to pay the difference before they would even dispatch the truck which in turn made me wait threel hours to show up. The guy showed up with his small pickup with no markings on it and pulled out a floor jack and a battery powered impact wrench. He lifted it up by the axle which was wrong and didn't have a torque wrench either. I was thinking of getting a harbor freight 12 ton barrel jack with air connection and bring a air impact wrench too. I'm still bringing my manual tools like a breaker bar, torque wrench, and star wrench in case a generator/compressor failure. What do you have along for these emergencies? Just thought of triangles for my kit.
