A home tool kit is a collection of the basic types of hand tools that just about everyone needs at one point or another, such as hammers, screwdrivers, tape measures, wrenches, pliers, levels, and a set of nails and screws. By contrast, a mechanic tool set is geared towards working on engines in cars, motorcycles, boats, and heavy equipment. While there are mechanic tool sets that also include some basic around-the-home tools, most focus purely on tools necessary for hobby or professional mechanical repairs.
