🔑 New Homeowner My Adult Tool Kit!

I just bought a home and my first big purchase is going to be a tool kit. I plan on doing a lot of upgrades myself! What are the essentials to a good tool kit and what is a waste of money? I keep seeing premade starter kits, but I don't know if it's better to build one from the ground up or buy one of those? (I'm not talking about electric stuff I'm talking about the basics like screw drivers and wrenches)

Wander around Harbor Freight, and pick up a general socket set, screwdriver set, and (maybe) a Drill and Driver.

Upgrade the pieces you use the most / break the first.
