A stud finder and level are underrated. Hanging things safely makes a home feel settled, and it prevents random wall damage.

A cordless drill was the tool we used constantly after moving in. Curtains, shelves, furniture, repairs. Get a decent one, not necessarily the most expensive.

A basic tool kit with a hammer, screwdrivers, tape measure, pliers, level and utility knife covers a lot. You do not need pro tools on day one.
