A couple of years ago my Toronto Kids bought a house, a few years before that our Swedish Kids, (still lived here) and they bought a house. Even if you are not tool inclined, if you have a house you needs some tools.
The Swedish kids now have a house in Sweden. Sadly none of their Canadian tools will work on 220 volt Swedish power but they learned the value of quality tools and are building their collection of tools up once again.

| just in case you didn't know where Sweden is. They live half way up on the east coast. |
Our Toronto kids have good tools, when they bought the house, (that needed work) I started buying then decent tools. It turns out that the major reason that you should buy your kids decent tools is because you may well find yourself using them one day, as I have on several occasions.
Don't bother with the set of tools that has a flashlight, get TOOLS, a saw or two and a good drill. I suggest that you stay with a major tool lines so that you will be able to get new batteries down the road and maybe add a jig saw, or a planer, or a small shop vac at some point. *
My next trip to Sweden will no doubt find me at their tool store, Biltema and involve adding to their tool collection. I am less likely to be using those tools, for lots of reason, but they need have good tools none the less. Biltema is their toolstore.ca
Trust me on this one, it is difficult enough to be working on a project out side of your shop, you don't need to add to the challenge with poor tools. Besides, you love your kids, give them good tools.
* foot note: I don't have an impact driver and so far haven't missed it but lots of folks couldn't live without theirs.
