I have recently been in the same boat mate, with my lad starting in the HGV industry. I bought / gave him some of the basic gear to get started and have slowly been building him a decent tool kit up. eBay is a good source for the decent gear. There are a few traders who seem to deal in the likes of Teng etc who I guess are selling off some end of range gear, perfectly good and half the price of the local engineers merchants. An example ........I recently found and bought him some 200mm Teng combination pliers for about £15. Obviously you can look at the second hand gear on there too. Had several bargains for him off there.
He bought himself a roll cab from Aldi about a year ago and he reckons it's still like new. It was £130, and weighed a ton !
