What was the first tool you ever bought?
Here on Workshop we want to create an inclusive, welcoming community where anyone feels like they can seek help, including absolute beginners. After all, everyone has to start from somewhere.
Today I thought it would be fun to take you back to when your D.I.Y. or gardening journey was just beginning.
What was the first tool you ever bought or were given?

No need for guilt, if your Dad had tools that he didn't want any more, you did the right thing by keeping them in the family. ; )

It might also be useful to share what you think is the most useful or most used tool you own.
After resisting for a long time I've recently become a bit of a multi-tool convert...

Just saw a mid-century inspired sit-down arcade machine. Perfect for those spouses who don't appreciate the merits of having a more traditional-looking games machine as a coffee table! Perhaps your next project?

First tool? A seven piece ring spanner set from McEwans in 1976. Still use them regularly

Here's some McEwans nostalgia!
