On two occasions I have made up simple tool kits for girls/women who had maybe 1 screwdriver and were living alone, apartment, dorm room whatever. My wife still prizes hers, it's a kitchen resource. Though she is welcome to borrow from my shop she often uses her own tools. Anyway, it makes a fine gift. Deciding on the contents is a fun exercise. Parameters; it must fit in a small steel box, not larger than 2" x 6" x 12" so it stores and travels easily (a hammer can be separate), it must be inexpensive.
flat and phillips screwdrivers, one each - multi-bit tools are too fussy
pliers, 1 ordinary, 1 needle nose with wire cutter
utility knife with retractable blade
2" putty knife
a kit of picture hangers
a smallish claw hammer
a piece of crocus cloth
small tape measure
What would you add?
