Morphology
The meaning 'a set of tools' is directly and transparently compositional from 'tool' (a handheld implement) + 'kit' (a set or package), so a learner who knows both constituents will immediately infer the combined meaning. This noun-noun compound follows a clear and cross-linguistically common packaging/collection pattern, making it accessible to a B1 learner.
Etymology
The noun tool kit comes from the simple image of a small box holding different tools together as a kit you can carry to a job. That's why tool kit means 'a set of tools kept together for use'.
