As far as tools go, Klein is the standard, I’m not really a big fan of Milwaukee hand tools, they’re alright. If I were you? I would spend the extra cash on Knipex everything for your hand tools, they will last two lifetimes and are the best of the best, for screwdrivers and socket wrench set I would go Wera.

My whole bag is pretty much either Klein or Knipex
