This is a very good starter set, amazing price and well built tools, the screwdrivers could be a bit stronger but overall 8/10

C.K T3963 160 Cable Cutter 160 mm, 6"
always will need a tape, doesn't need to be expensive
Stanley STA998985 Pocket Tapes, 5m/16ft & 8m/26ft
you will need a knife, i recommend this type as a lot of sites have banned retractable blade type, so get a fixed blade type like this

a must have, your early days will be marking out, with this you can set the spring at required height, and mark single and double boxes throughout a job without needing to keep taking out your tape, has a built in level

a decent pad saw for cutting plaster board
STANLEY FATMAX Folding Jabsaw 8 TPI Blade
a nice set of files, working on metal or pvc always clean up those edges

these pens aren't needed, but extremely helpful, if these are out of budget a sharpie will do

always make sure your installs are level, i recommend this level as it will last a apprentice and electrician if looked after
STANLEY FATMAX XTREME Torpedo Level
some of the best value for money grips on the market

ive owned this hack saw since i was 17, 32 now, honestly 10/10
