A good impact, Milwaukee 3/8 Stubby Fuel is the best purchase I've made in a while.

I always find it is worth going a little extra and get an air compressor if you have the space. My rattle gun is something silly like 880nm and only cost 80 quid.

Also always buy decent ones. They're expensive for a reason! Using a core drill bit to go through a snapped tap is not fun!

Any recommendations for a "decent" set?

Aside from PC Building, I'm into car modification and DIY stuff in my garage. My essential tools would probably be

Jack/Axle Stands
Wrench set
HEX Key set,
Plier and Screwdriver Sets

I don't really own a massive toolbox cuz im broke af LOL i just make resources I find on the internet like Dig My Ride and my mechanic friend as my reference.

Also, would you guys happen to know if it's safe to use a compressor to blow dust away from my PC? or should I just buy canned air?
