I have been in the trade now since i was 15. I have tools from the snap on vans marked with cat, blue point,snap on and eurotools the only difference is the finish (polished or not) and the cost non polished is cheaper, all come from snap on.
My grandfather told me this from the start.
1. only buy what you can afford each week
2. if you do use credit from a tool supplier make sure it can be paid off by the end of each month
3. if you borrow tools more than once you need to buy it.
4. lastly ask the question even if you think it is stupid as it could save you and the boss time and money if something breaks
the list that you have to start with is great. all I would add is a test light as was suggested earler.
As for tools my first set was chrome vadium from a small tool shop i still use most of them (they have been used in everything from wrecking yards thru to heavy earthmoving) i have added to the sets over the years my last insurance cover was for over $45k of tools as i also found out if you do claim lost tools make sure you can prove what they were my bro had tools stolen from his work truck and had to prove that they were snap on.
also as you're in bris I can give you the name of the guy I now buy tools off just pm me and I will give you his contact details he is a mobile guy and will come to you. Or if you have any questions just pm me happy to help
