For someone just starting out in adult life what would be the best
four hand and power tools?

You already got many suggestions, my comment is more about quality.
Not every tool has to be the top of the line, but avoid junk.

A poorly made screwdriver will make a simple job more difficult and
even more costly if it damages the fasteners. For only a few more
dollars, get one with a good comfortable grip.

Pliers and wrenches should have good jaws.

What to buy depends on your needs. Home repair is a bit different
that auto tinkering, but screwdrivers are needed fro both. Hammer
styles will differ, but again, get a decent one with a comfy grip.

Good advice. Don't buy junk tools.

I always buy tools as I need them.
No point in buying a hand saw when you need to drive screws.
