Spec me a manly toolkit!

[NotAGolf]

I'm moving into my first house soon, and therefore need to buy lots of things to fill it with. At the top of my list is a manly toolkit

I've got a power drill with lots of bits, and a few random spanners, but that's it.

Anyone got any suggestions as to where I could get a starter kit from? I'm thinking a toolbox, few spanners, screwdrivers, pliers, hammer, saw, alan keys etc. Power tools can come later when I have a bit more money!!

Any tools you'd defintely recommend making sure are included, things to avoid?

Budget I'm thinking of around £50. Over time I'm sure I'll get better quality stuff but I need something to start with and obviously money is tight atm.

Thanks.

Thanks for all the advice.

I've looked at a few of the kits mentioned. The problem with most of them is that they have 100 odd pieces, but I'm probably only likely to use 10 of them at most.

So the other option, as many have said, is to get pieces individually. The problem with that though is when something happens and you don't have a tool to fix it. Last thing I want to do is drive 20 miles to get it!

I'm no hardcore diy'er and I'm no car mechanic, I will probably only need the basics like I mentioned in my OP. For example a lot of these kits all include socket sets. I've not once used on of these in 24 years, and if I did need one, an adjustable spanner should do the trick.

Cheers for the list billy. That's pretty much all i've come up with so far. Will get a spirit level as well. Multimeter might be an idea too as suggested but then I don't have the first clue about electronics, so not sure about that one

Where would be a good place to pick this stuff up? Somewhere like screwfix, B&Q, halfords? Any places/brands to ignore? Obviously the super cheap stuff.
