In real reality, widespread availability of tools like those, and lack of conventional energy sources, will encourage large population growth especially in developing countries.
Just makes things worse.
That's the silliest thing I've heard today.
unless by 'real reality' you're providing a 'double-positive', like "Yeah, right!"
Whatever it 'encourages', the lack of our current 'high protein' energy sources will be what no longer FACILITATES large pop. growth. The encouragement and discouragement comes from education and the stability of a society, by and large.

widespread availability of tools like those,
This is the real killer of the idea : assuming that everything else will be "the same", i.e. availability of bike parts, electric motors, 12v chain saws!!!
Another idiotic delusion (alas!)
I don't get into this post-peak survivalist speculation because a) I don't know anything and b) I think we'll adapt and carry on.
But anyways, post peak there will be a hundred million 1.5kW electric motors for the taking in the form of starter motors from cars with empty gas tanks. I also wonder how much need there will be for a state of the art semiconductor fab. Can't we just loot the nearest radioshack?
