Good basic toolset/toolbox for househacking

[Bruce P.]

Hi, my friend recently acquired their first SFH for house hacking. They are starting to need basic tools (e.g., they want to mount a security camera but the instructions call for a 15/64" drill bit to drill some holes for mounting) to do things like mount a security camera, fix a screendoor, attach a Ring doorbell, etc. They already have a small hammer and a set of screwdrivers but not much else.

Does anyone have recommendations on a general purpose toolbox they can buy that would be perfect for home maintenance and other related chores as mentioned above for house hacking?

If they are only going to do it occasionally, look at Harbor Freight. Yes they are cheap, but if you only use them for a few things, it isn't worth shelling out for stuff you can drop off of a ladder and still have work. The Father's Day deals idea is a good one too.
