£500 to build a tool kit geared towards compliance

[OXSET]

You have £500 to spend to build a tool and equipment kit FROM SCRATCH - Geared mainly towards compliance checks and potential remedials.

So far I have
Drill (possibly 2 pack depending on brand)
Generic hand tool set (Vaunt do a good set on ITS)
WD40, 3-in-1 oil, etc.
Cable tie assortment
Fire Extinguisher tamper tags
Thermometers for water checks
Allan key set
Tool bag / organisers
socket set
Adjustable wrenches
Pipe wrench
Mole Grips
Various sticky tapes ie. electrical, gaffer etc.
Screw pack
Nut and bolt pack with washers


What else? I will edit this as people add things.

Jigsaw and an angle grinder. You may be lucky and get one in a set with a drill. Gorilla glue. Get some deep sockets for the socket set as they are handy for outdoor play equipment.

Tbh your not gonna get much change from £500 after buying tha
If we are talking FROM SCRATCH then i would add some further items for remedials (not so much for Compliance)

O/Door Broom & Shovel- daily playground checks would require these i suppose
Drain rods & Plunger- more just tool starter kit really
telescopic tree pruning tool/saw- defo useful for some of the more minor remedials on the Arb report

I'm thinking purely compliance checks, perhaps fitting new door closers etc, not general grounds keeping. I agree though, if talking the whole package, o/door stuff is a must. I've put secateurs in just incase fire escapes or escape routes have pesky branches in the way.

If you buy a drill, chose a decent one that takes batteries and has other compatible things for future purchase. I have Screwfix ones, drill/SDS/jigsaw/circular saw/strimmer/lawnmower all use the same batteries so you can buy bare units in the future. Don't forget some Long Weights/Rainbow paint/Sky Hooks whilst your at it

Battery tester.
Don't buy angle grinder- unless you have taken the course to change the disk.
Super Glue.
Medical cuts it all scissors.
Safety gloves.
Safety Glasses.
Cuddly toy.
Staple remover.
Sand Paper.
Files.
Decent grips and mole grips.
Socket set.
Tape measure.
Spirit level.
Saw.
Set of screws.
Set of Allen keys,
Screwdriver set.
Hammer.
Plier set.
Vice if you can.
Hacksaw.

My the list goes on and on.

When I started to become ill, I removed all my tools.
Relief CT, complained that he had nothing tools wise.

£1500 later, school had a great kit.

Haha, schools can buy that one themselves, this is a kit for the boot of my car when I go around and do compliance work, PPM and periodic stuff.
