im going to be starting an apprenticeship soon (sorry for my poor spelling and grammer)

i have some tools that i bought for college but there not insualted so i dont really want to use it and buy all new stuff

what
screwdrivers,pliers,side cutters,hacksaw's do you guys think i should go for

or a better idea a kit, im looking to spend under £100 but i can stretch it upto a max of 2-300
ive had enough of cheap rolson gear that lasts 5 minuetes before breaking down

(im kind of dyslexsic so i know im spelling it wrong i just cant think how to spell it right)

have a look at CK. they do several kits that are ideal for you.

I'd start with a dictionary, sorry for being blunt but there's little excuse for poor spelling and poor punctuation.

Sometime in the future you'll probably be doing certificates, estimates and invoices - first impressions count.

I believe Electricfix have got a special on for some Wiha screw drivers, 4 or 5 for £12 I think.

Some say that you don't need insulated tools because you won't be working live anyway.
IMO CK and Stanley are alright; you don't want expensive tools because it's better to have cheap tools than no tools because someone has "borrowed" them.

in the end i went for these, they were a set recomended by the guy behind counter at wholesalers when i asked about wiha (he was trying to con me into ordering in a set of wiha screw drivers for £60, i can get them for a lot less than that myself)

he even said this set was going to be arround 20, it was 16

so i went for these.

uk.farnel.com are cheap for certain things like the wiha screwdrivers

you can even buy a 8 set of ck screwdrivers for £30

I don't think that was a necessary comment. The OP had already stated that he is dyslexic. People can't help having disabilities and they should be encouraged not made to feel bad.
