Sears now carries both the national brand (Dremel) & their own brand (Craftsman), but they're both the same tool. You can typically save money (or get a more complete package) by going with the Craftsman version. Especially if you wait for the sales. A torque wrench shows you how tight you're making that bolt, spark plug, etc. Their $15 beam torque wrench torques just as well as their $80 digital wrench. It's not as convenient, but it allows you to get more tools for your money.
Although I agree with everyone that the basics should come first, gift certs offer the opportunity to get something you ordinarily wouldn't due to the cost. The basics you're listing are all affordable by themselves, but Sears tends to have better buys when you get a jumbo tool kit. Keeping these things in mind, what sort of package can you get? Or if you add another $30 of your own money, what will it get you that you couldn't buy with your $30 alone?
