Start with a good set of tools from where ever you can afford to buy them but stick to a good manufacturer, i.e. Craftsman or SnapOn if you can afford them.
Then as you come across a situation where you need more buy them to fit what you need.
Combination wrenches can save you instead of open ends and box but get two of 3/8" to 3/4"' always handy.
A good torque wrench works and a set of Pry Bars.
Also, a tap set,

Watch out for Gear Wrench, I have not had any luck with there tools.
Stick to big name brands and you will not go wrong.

I've used gear wrench for 3 years. Never a problem. Works just as good as snap on, atleast for me. Just got me a new toy.

Eaier to buy a good set of wrenches to get started and add to it as needed.
One thing I think is a good tool is a Multimeter, something that checks volts, amps, resistance, maybe even a buzzer for continuity checks, like is a bulb or fuse good or is a wire a complete loop or not.
Although the multimeter can work as a probe, get a good 12 Volt Probe, a long one is better than a short one.

Pff, what isn't in my tool box. Snap-on, Mac, Matco, Craps-man, Lisle, Sandisk, Kingstong (yes, I have computer parts in my tool box) Bic, Equate, Gearwrench.
Also, that's a cute tool box. You will outgrow that quickly if you get into anything serious.
You should try one of these ones on for size.
