There are additional copies of Disk Utility available in many places:


"Regular" Recovery partition

Internet Recovery will download a copy and place it on a RAM disk for use

any Installer DVD

any bootable USB-stick Installer/Utilities thumb-drive


also, your Mac an boot from any appropriate drive, internal or external. So you could conceivably install MacOS on an external drive, and boot from that.


Macs from the right era can do Target Disk Mode, where the entire damaged Mac becomes a drive attached to the other Mac. This can be used for disk Repair and re-Install.
