First things first, you’ll need a vessel to keep your shiny new tools safe and out of harm’s way. Opt for a tool box with plenty of compartments for stashing screws, nails and fixings, and one with a handle for easy carrying is also a bonus. This basic container from Wilko is just a few quid or take a look at the gorgeous tin from Orla Kiely.
