very basic car tool set

Bit of a false economy really - the sockets/ratchet handles will be poor quality chinesium and either round nuts or snap, and the screwdriver has so many bits but very few that will be relevant on a car

Bette off with a slightly better quality set e.g.

And pair with a couple of relevant sized spanners or adjustables, a couple of full sized screwdrivers and other useful things like pliers, trim removal tools etc
 
What car is it and what basic issues do you want to be able to fix?

Some of the quality of the cheap toolsets can be variable. It it's a bad one, it won't be worth the money because it won't be nice using the tools, and therefore better to buy from a respected brand.

The one time you can't afford to be messing about with crap tools is when you depend on them the most, ie. away from home.

Spend more and get decent stuff, doesn't have to be much, you'll be surprised what you actually would need at the roadside.
 
VonHaus are OK for occasional use - fine for something to chuck in the car for an emergency but wouldn't be my choice for regularly, working on the car.
