Tools for home servicing

I want to start servicing my car at home, nothing fancy - just the air, oil, and fuel filters and changing the oil etc. I've found guides online specific to my car for the jobs but my tool bag is a bit lacking with not much more than a hammer, saw, and a few different size screwdrivers

Would I be ok getting a kit like this from Halfords and along with a socket like this to swap over the oil filter?

Is there a bare minimum set of tools that you should have for car repairs or will a kit like I linked to get me off to a decent start?
