I won't lie I was super tempted to add a pro toolkit with the part order, but talked myself out of it and ended up with just a spludger and moray driver kit lol.
I say do it (if you have the money, of course). I got it and while it has far more tools/bits than I use regularly, it's been invaluable.
decent tools are always a nice to have
I have to second the other person said, if you have the money I'd get the the kit. It's proved useful for all sorts of things. I've used mine for electronics, knife repair/maintenance, home repairs, basically anything you've ever needed to work on that required some kind of weird screwdriver that you definitely don't have in the drawer lol
I feel the same way about my Leatherman Wave multi tool. I had a cheap one that I got for like £4 and it just sat in my toolbox. My house got broken into and they stole all my tools. The insurance company replaced the multi tool with the Wave. I just shoved it in the toolbox, which lives in the garage as I never really used it.
One day, I saw the Wave online and noticed it costs a lot of money (£100+). I brought it inside the house and ended up leaving it by my desk. I found myself reaching for it to do all manner of household jobs. It's a great gadget to quickly fix odd jobs or cut boxes up from the numerous online purchases. Really handy to leave around the house.
I'm sure you can get by with cheaper variants but the Leatherman tools are solid and built to last. They also come with a 25 year warranty. Definitely a purchase I'd make again if I ever needed to.
It’s an amazing toolkit. Highly recommend.
