It doesn’t really matter for babby’s first tool kit. Different brands do different stuff well, and the store brands with lifetime warranties like Husky, Kobalt, and also Craftsman can be affordable and are plenty good enough for weekend jobs. If you break an individual tool or use it a lot and want a better quality version after some use, then go with a better brand. If you’re talking about power tools, Ryobi is the patrician DIYer brand, don’t buy no-name Chinese power tools because the batteries will be trash and you might not be able to find a new battery 6mos after you bought the thing.

Avoid “mechanic’s tool sets” unless you want to add a bunch more. And if you do get some ~170pc mechanic’s set, then add a 4pc pliers set, a level, tape measure, hammer, and a cordless drill and you will be ok.

A kit like picrel would be solid. These kits go on sale a lot, maybe Father’s Day will have some sales';

A claw hammer is actually pretty handy for removing nails. Though, ofc i don't actually use nails, because they are gay and screws are superior, but still.
My hammer actually spends alot of its time with like 10-20 layers of ductape on the head, so i can use it like a rubber mallet. As i find that most things i want to hammer on, i dont feel like marring the shit out of.';
