Unless of course one of his tools is a teleporter.  Oh wait, that's from another older thread.

He could "swim" by moving his tool hard ibehind him, moving them slowly in front, then hard behind him again, that way he wouldn't lose his tools. If you sit in a chair that can spin, wave your arms really hard in the direction you don't want to go and you'll move in the other direction. Bring them slowly back and repeat. Just by swinging your arms you can make yourself spin right around. :-)

Errm- i'm gonna have to disagree with you on this one quantum- the only reason it works on a swivel chair is because there is an atmposphere here on earth. If we consider the momentum of the astronaut and his tools as 0, the astronaut cannot gain any momentum (by conservation of momentum) unless an equal momentum is imparted in the opposite direction. On the swivel chair, you impart this momentum to the countless number of air molecules, but in space, there is no such medium! The only way he could get back is by chucking his tools!
