Tools.... a topic very close to my heart.
My main socket set (1/2") is a Draper one which I bought new from Halfords in 1985 when I was starting training to be a mechanic. I still have it and use it mostly, though the 10mm, 13mm and 19mm sockets have been replaced as they wore/broke. I bought it at the time as it came in a metal case - I was sick of plastic cases breaking and the hinges snapping off.
It's not this one but same vintage and very similar (BTW this one is worth EVERY penny and would be a good start).

I also have a Halfords Advanced set for mobile use, which is superb quality, a lot of trainee mechanics get the Halfords stuff. Downside is you get very few extensions so you need to buy some of those as well - plus sets for big hex and torx etc, and a set of fixed ring spanners.
Battery impact gun is definitely worth it - especially if you have hand injuries - saves lots of undoing. The Bosch 18v ones are excellent as well as DeWalt/Milwaukee.
Machine Mart good for axle stands.
