Damn, where went my last post, I will start again. When I moved into my first flat my tools included some inherited from my grandfather and great grandfather. Avoid anything poundland or Wilko and go for vintage wherever possible.
Ball pein hammer, pin hammer.
Plane
Chisels
Try Square
Tenon saw, hack saw and hand saw.
Hand drill and bit and brace.
Files and rasps.
Crowbar (or whatever you young uns call it these days)
Hefty adjustable spanner (for plumbing emergencies)
Pliers
Yankee screwdriver with hex attachments (as mentioned elsewhere)
Bits for the above (reliable ones, not Chinese plastic metal)
Tape measure, and ruler
Torch, (with a magnet is very handy)
Plunger for clearing blockages
Multimeter for testing electrics
Probably missing a lot out there but it depends how big your toolbox is.
