    May I recommend a super basic sewing kit too? You’ll save a shit ton of money if you can do basic clothing repairs. And a hammer.

        A cheap tool set would cover a lot of bases and provide a storage box

        Pretty sure he builds computers, so that and screwdrivers are likely covered already

          There’s a couple of things not involved with computers that are a PITA to not have when needed. (If he doesn’t.)

          The $21 one looks good for bare minimum and would probably be enough to handle IKEA furniture. But I got the $55 one to have tape measure, needle nose pliers, socket set etc. Just to avoid suddenly needing something later then having it float around loose.

            A nice array, (the tools are rubbish, but that’s not the point right now) 100% want a shifter.

              Yeah, they’re not great quality but good to have for infrequent use. Covers the bases
