Which hand tools do you recommend for non professional use?

I’m curious about everyone’s experience and opinions about the kind of tools that you could buy at a big box store like Home Depot or Lowe’s for example.

I’m not interested in buying anything like Matco or Snap-on because they won’t be used professionally.

I’m mainly interested in tools for shade tree maintenance and basic home repair.
I have some experience with Husky, Icon, Craftsman and Kobalt. Which of those are good and why or why not?

My late father’s pocket watch.

I didn’t have a chance to ask him much more about this watch, only that he said he took it to a jeweler to have it serviced. After doing some research, this is quite an interesting watch.
As you can probably tell, it’s a Hamilton 992B and according to the serial number and the case number it was a late production model made in 1965.
Model: Hamilton 992B Railway Special
Movement: 21 jewels, adjusted to 6 positions (railroad grade)
Size: 16s
Case: 10K gold-filled by Star Watch Case Co.
Production year: 1965
Made in: Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA

The bezel and case back are tricky to remove and replace so I try not to remove them frequently. Once it is set, it is by far the most accurate watch I own.
