I wanna get my DH a toolbox and tools for xmas, as we're always borrowing my dads. I dont know where to start. I need ideas for what storage system to use, box/bag etc, and also what brand of tools do I go for. What items do I need?? I was thinking of screwdrivers, spanners, hammer, but am I thinking wrong. Anyone got any ideas???

Thanks

Amazon have a tool box complete with tools for £25 including delivery.

Hammer drills are always handy. This one has a variable speed so you can use it as a screwdriver as well. £29 including delivery.

It's also worth asking for advice on the DIY board.
