    homeowner tool kit advice

    So I'm putting together a homeowner toolkit for storage inside the house so we don't have to go out to the garage to grab tools when they are needed.

    what would you consider a complete socket set (1/4, 3/8, 1/2 drive)

    Like the title says, what do you consider a complete set (shallow and deep) for each drive size (1/4, 3/8, 1/2). I'm trying to fill in the missing sizes from my Cman set. For now, wobble type sockets and mid-length sockets aren't part of the equation and more than likely never will be.

    dedicated nut-drivers, or 1/4" handle + 1/4" sockets?

    As the title states, what are your preferences? Are there any advantages or disadvantages to either that I haven't thought of? Personally, I just realized I have both. Space is at a bit of a premium in my box (and no a larger box is most definitely not an option :(:(:( ), so I find myself...
