I know how hard it is to come into this industry and survive off of an apprentices weekly wage. Investing this small sum of money into tools is worrying to somebody still wet behind the ears and so here is my own toolbag.

It hasn't got the the latest or best tools on the market but it sees me through on a day by day basis. I've used the same generic tools for the last 17 years. 9 times out if 10 a job can be completed with just what's in my toolbag.
