I tell all my apprentices to buy their hand tools first, and to buy the best quality that they can afford.

The amount of crap tools I have seen on site is ridiculous, they look like something out of bargain bin from Wilkos! Remember buy cheap, buy twice!

Everything wears out with time (as my wife keeps telling me). So you could pay top dollar for quality or cheaper to start off with and replace as you make up your own mind. Go with the latter is my advice.

I suppose the screwdrivers are good if you have an annual assessment coming up and your old faithful ones have had the insulation chewed up from the shaft.

I fairly new too - You def need an MFT and I woul;d recommend a new one. beg, borrow or steal the money, or just get it on plastic - most other things you can get by e.g. for a dvi, use the mft! clamp meter, I've never needed one to date.. screwdrivers yes but they not dear, you only need 3 or 4 to start off.. sds drill - I use my cordless hammer for 90% of jobs, or just use an ordinary 1/2 inch chuck drill. Good luck..
