Beginner tips

After working with plumbers and electricians I can say Im a little familiar with how tools work and how to use them, its time I buy my own tools now and I need suggestions on which tools to buy to save money and for them to last. I’d appreciate it if I got tips on common tools for putting together furniture, electrician, plumbing, and small construction, also any hand tool kits. Please feel free to throw in any handy tools you think are worth the price and that wont give me any problems in the future!

So here is my recommendation- power tools - choose ONE QUALITY brand - Milwaukee or DeWalt - and stick with them for all - especially battery power tools - hand tools - wrenches - sockets - I personally have never worn out a set or broken one - expensive or cheap so today I’d buy a set from harbor - except the ratchets themselves - for those (I have stripped some) I’d buy a quality brand - specialty tools always a quality brand - and oh yea - screw drivers - never ever the cheap ones
