There's something to be said for the 'sets' of handtools that come in a case (along with screws/nails and wallplugs). Likewise the cheaper power tools that come in 'sets' are also good value. If they don't last as long as the 'middle' or 'top' or the range equipment, the price means that you can replace them after a couple of years - and you have to ask yourself how often you will use them. If you later 'upgrade' your tools, the first set (still in their case) makes a good 'back up to keep in the boot of the car. Personal experience though is that an decent lightweight electric screwdriver is extremely worthwhile from the word 'go' for anyone.

I don't know what Sidchrome tools are, nor how much they cost, but here is my suggestion.
The problem with buying tools is that you truly get what you pay for. I am not sure of which kind of tools you are asking about as each craft requires its own types. But, as a former automotive technician, I found that Snap-On tools are the best choice for automotive applications. They offer a wide array of tools that are of the highest quality. They are expensive but they are covered by a lifetime warranty. Craftsman also has this warranty, but you will need to call them more often for replacement because they break more often, and in my opinion are of a far lower quality. I have used both and I found that the fit, finish and usability of Snap-On is greater for those who need to rely on their tools. The down fall of Snap-On is that you can not get them in stores. You must acquire them from traveling franchisers who buy trucks with their stocks and go, literally, door-to-door selling their wares, typically only to commercial clients, such as repair shops. They are harder to get and will take more from your wallet, but Snap-On tools are the really the best.

If this is for you husband to use in the Garage at Home, Craftsman - because he can always walk in any Sears and get an instant replacement. Lifetime warranty.
If this is for his work. Then you need to let him pick what tools he needs for work and have the dealer rep make a deal with him.
Gift Certificate may be better in this case.
But the home use Craftsman is the way to go.

Facom (a European company) makes some of the highest quality tools, but at a very high price, otherwise Craftsman

The Home Depot sells a brand of tools called "HUSKY".
Like Craftsman, the are guarantied for life.
I've had good luck with them, even use them at work to build aircraft with, as they fit good, not rounding off the corners of the nuts/bolts.

Well, I've been using Bosch® tools almost for everything including lawn mower. It's affordable with quality. So, it depends on individual...
