Default Tool kit for lady houseowner

Fwom:Broadback )

I am renovating a small house for my daughter, as I go along I try to
show her basic house maintenance. Yesterday she had a problem with

the
toilet cistern, and following my instructions turned off the water

via
the in line isolating valve, all she had to hand was a screwdriver

set
from a Christmas cracker. So any ideas as to where we could get a
useful, comprehensive but not too sophisticated tool kit? Or what

tools
we should but to make up a kit, at reasonable expense.
TIA


Argos do a few. Budget tools are a good choice to get started with
IMHO, it is far more useful to have a whole array of cheap tools than
just a few nice fancy ones.


Tools not to get a newbie:

chainsaw
circular saw
road breaker
structural props
electric plane - aviation fuel powered one probably not very suitable
either.
