But what to put in it.

A picture of the box would be useful 'Black and Decker boxes with a bench vice on the top'. And you tool kit intended use?

Top on my list is a multi tool, a Leatherman surge or clones of, with a number of Bosch jigsaw blades, screw driver bits, firesteel and a separate 1/4 bar and sockets.... I'll take a picture of my kit so you can understand

With respect what do you anticipate doing?

Are you refurbing a house or just hobby type projects? Are you thinking you maybe plastering n which case you need plastering tools etc .

So what do you think you'll need tools for?

 

[Tengu]

Hobby type projects. People around me will have tools but it can be easier to have my own than chase around to borrow.

My last minor repair project i thought would only require a hammer, nails and a saw but ended up needing an axe to fair a wooden beam in an awkward place.
So keeping it bushcrafty I vote for an axe

Check out Everyday Woodworking by Rex Krueger. It is beginner wood working with 12 tools and a lot of the projects are about building the other tools you would need.

Thats a plan.

My problem is I do not really know what I might be needing.

If you’ve never used a Japanese style pull saw, I thoroughly recommend it.

Once you are used to it:-

It cuts quicker than a conventional panel saw.
It is easier to cut straighter than a panel saw.
It takes far less effort to use than a panel saw.
Its very thin blade wastes less wood and I find that I can be more accurate.
I don’t use the coarse edge but the fine edge is magical.

Just don’t push it! That takes time to get used to. You will work out your own way to hold it. I like using mine two handed.

My tip would be something like these in various sizes.

Molegrips / locking pliers

I use for so many things I need tools for, especially bicycle repair. They're like an extra hand at times.
