tool set

Implements in box

A tool set is a collection of tools sold or stored together, typically for a specific purpose: a mechanic's tool set, a woodworking tool set.

The tools usually come in a carrying case or chest with fitted compartments.

Figuratively, a tool set is any collection of skills, methods, or resources available for a task: Therapy gave her a new tool set for managing anxiety.
