Any advice would be great. I've just been buying stuff as I've needed it, which means I've a few screwdrivers, wire strippers, vice-grip, pliers, spanner & that's about it.Are you looking for any recommendations on hand tools?

He reckoned that the hammer action on cordless drills ruined the drills pretty quickly so it was a wasted extra expense. It made sense to me so I followed his suggestion. Has anyone else found the same thing with 12V and 18V cordless hammer drills?
Not so long ago, I saw a plumber drill through masonry as if it was butter, with a cordless hammer drill. However, that was a big brute of a 24V Bosch drill which appeared far more robust than my corded drill. He swore by it - it was pricey, but he said he'd happily pay the same again to replace it if the need arose. So, my question above relates to the likes of 12V and 18V drills only, as the really beefy 24V ones seem to be capable of handling anything you throw at them.
