BETTER Tool Kit - This is a set that most homeowners would be proud to own. In most cases, they are a step up from what is offered in the Good Tool Kit. I own many of these, but a few are tools that I have researched and would love to have:

Leather work gloves - https://amzn.to/3f4RLkq - Comfortable and very durable. Impact protection on back of hands. Everything you could want in a working glove.

Tool tote - https://amzn.to/3s9MgVb - Heavy duty, with a shoulder strap.

Cordless drill - https://amzn.to/3vMzDll - Brushless, with a battery and charger. This drill is the standard by which others are measured.

Level - https://amzn.to/3sbMdIH - Very solid with top of the line features. Break-resistant vials and magnified lens - easy to read in dim light. V-groove for scaffolding and steel pipes. Powerful magnets.

Caulk gun - https://amzn.to/3f28sNg - Dripless and very solid.

Scraper / putty knife - https://amzn.to/3vLEx1P - Nice Warner - this should last a lifetime.

Tape measure - https://amzn.to/3tHIuCX - Nice 35 footer. The favorite of guys that use them every day.

Hammer - https://amzn.to/3tPfKZb - Extremely nice 19oz. hammer. My favorite weight for an all around framing / utility hammer.

Pliers - https://amzn.to/2PgUWL7 - Knipex pliers are a dream to use. Measurements and notches IN the slip joint. These might be the coolest tool on this list.

Utility knife - https://amzn.to/393XNOs - This is the one a lot of pros use. Onboard blade storage.

Screwdriver - https://amzn.to/396I7tT - Really nice complete set.

Stud finder - https://amzn.to/394hk1n - finds studs, metal, and live wires.

Hearing protection - https://amzn.to/3lDkYEk - These are the ones I use.

Eye protection - https://amzn.to/3c7LDpv - Cool factor. UVA protection and the reader lens.

Cordless circular saw - https://amzn.to/3cUie1n - Quality saw + battery and charger.

Drill and driver set - https://amzn.to/3d0hlVf -

Crescent wrench - https://amzn.to/3cTODoW - I like the measurement reference marks and the cool red on the handle. Definitely has the cool factor.
