I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the best equipment to fight' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'rebuilt the tattered home' is the wordplay.
'rebuilt' indicates an anagram.
'the'+'tattered'+'home'='thetatteredhome'
'thetatteredhome' with letters rearranged gives 'ARMED TO THE TEETH'.

'has' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for armed to the teeth that I've seen is " with lots of weapons".)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
