Looks like a cheapo kit for repairing electronic gadgets as the tweezers and desoldering pump give it away.

dentistry

Yes, pc kit. I got the same kit from Maplin years ago. It doesn't come with any screws, the ones in that tube look like hard drive screws/motherboard/PC case screws.

Just try and figure out what trades you've had round and work it out from there, it's unlikely to be the window cleaner or roofer.

Electrician if you have had one recently.

The U shaped tool, is an IC extraction tool, used for pulling DIL socketed IC's out. Not many modern PC will of sockets for chips these days.

I think this was found in the loft, so probably older than our time here!

I had one of those kits some 30+ years ago.
The tweezers are about 12" away from me now, the M3 nut runner is down in the cellar (I have better now) and the yellow pearl catcher is in my tool draws at work (handy for small nuts ). The rest is history.
