Reddit reviews Klein Tools 92906 Tool Kit, 6-Piece Basic Tool Kit for Apprentice or Home Use with 3 Pliers, Wire Stripper and Cutter, 2 Screwdrivers

EDIT: Klein has a lifetime warranty. Take those dykes to Home Depot and exchange them.

Looks like you have Klein's cheapest model of dykes. These dykes are for COPPER ONLY. As such, these dykes often come in apprentice packs that work out to about $12 a tool.

Sets like this:

Good hand tool set to start with

I recommend these because they are reliable tools and aren't too expensive (subjective, of course). Nice tools will make you want to do more stuff yourself, I guarantee it! You probably can save some dough using Home Depot Husky / Lowes Kobalt/craftsman, or Harbor Freight. I have cheap tools too, but for the tools I use often, I invest a little more.

• Klein pliers/screwdriver set. All USA made. 6 useful tools for $88 isn't too bad. OR a Wiha insulated pliers/screwdrivers set for $83. OR a 'Channellock pliers set for $68
  
• Gearwrench reversible ratcheting wrenches metric, SAE $33 / each set
  
• Estwing 16oz hammer
  
• Estwing rubber mallet
  
  Edit: what's up with the downvote? I'm too sensitive :)

Klein is the industry's choice but not the only choice. Milwaukee makes some great tools too. Their new channel locks are really cool for $20 ea.

This kit here

If you price it all out individually you save a few bucks I think. I dunno there's just so much. My first year I probably spent $750 and I still didn't have near enough tools

Bags, drills, extra batteries, boots... it all adds up so fast. All in due time.

I recommend this set of hand tools and Milwaukee Fuel for your drills.
