New Apprentice looking at buying first tools

[BN9Pete]

As posted above by Ermintrude, go to car boot sales, I did this many years back when I started plumbing, I still have the footprints and adjustable spanners I bought very cheap, we didn't have EBay and Screwfix for tools back then.

It also worth looking at EBay, Amazon, Screwfix and Toolstation to compare prices.

I have Crescent and Channel Lock USA grips, I have some very small Rothenberger grips which are handy.
i have some footprints, and Bacho adjustable spanners.

Keep an eye out down at the merchants, they often do fairly good deals with regards to tools.
