So I recently purchased a new set of tool's for electronics and there great so the types of tool's every beginner needs are wire cutters, side cutters with a flat sided cutter, screwdriver with multiple heads so you can void the warranty of anything your trying to take apart, needle nose pliers fine and regular sized, fat pliers smaller and regular size, if you need it a tape measure at least 25 feet for convenience, a multimeter without a doubt a fluke is a good brand and sperry it's a great brand I don't know if there as rugged as the flukes but I like them, oscilloscope there great, a power supply with a dial so you can change the voltage, safety goggles and last but not least a soldering iron don't need to spend a hundred get a hakko that's a good brand I don't have any specific models but yes this is a good tool list if you want more in depth go to the EEvblog YouTube and search laboratory on his channel and a video will pop up for this type of stuff.
