Here's a Popular Mechanics set my late father-in-law got maybe fifteen or twenty years ago (1990's?) and he used it for everything. He needed to fix a mirror on his car, and before he could get to the hardware store, he saw one of those "buy-a-subscription-and-get-this-screwdriver-set-free" deals, and did it.
Two years of Popular Mechanics & the tool set. I figure it wasn't a bad deal for $25. All those years of use, and it's only missing one bit.
Here's the GearWrench set I bought here a while back. It's a nice set, with lots of cool extensions & doo-dads (my son sure likes playing with it) but I don't really care for it though; the handle is way too large for me.
