For The Beginners Toolbox

Would you suggest the 3 following items:

B&D Drill

B&D 129 Home Essentials Kit

and

Stanley 65 Piece Tool Kit

Would these be the most likely tools that a newbie should carry on-board for the most likely encounters w/ the vehicle or the RV?

Thanks

I use the Ryobi 18 Volt drill; it came with two LI batteries and a charger for ~$150.00 at Home Depot. The high torque is necessary for raising my stabilizer jacks when they are frozen to the ground.

My drill bits are mostly titanium; the B&D bits are 'high-speed steel' and get dull too quickly. There is nothing more frustrating than not having a sharp drill bit.

Instead of a 'kit' I bought separate hand tools - Craftsman, Mac, Snap-on and S-K Wayne.

It is 'false economy' to buy cheap tools; they wear out too quickly. Most of my tools are more than 40 years old.
