Hugh Jass Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 Also looking for a router in the future. I'm getting the new Dewalt finish nailer so I'll include this in the budget. Hole Saw Kit. Dewalts new Impact wrench. Hart Quick-Tatch combo kit (ultra slick). Full set of needed Knipex hand tools (have some, want them all). Might have blown the budget but that's about all I really need to finish my must have list for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NicholasShetley Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 I would get a bigger toolbox. I'm leaning towards the 56 inch one from harbor freight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 A nicer Toolbox and a Tracksaw would be pretty nice. I need to figure out a way to get free Festool stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeldfabNeil Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 I could use a 3/4" drive socket set. Currently I have some mismatched 3/4 sockets an bent breaker bar. The proto an Armstrong 3/4" set I want are both over a grand new. If I see a lightly used set locally for sale I would consider it if price was right. Tool budget is a little low cause I just recently bought a millwakee magnetic drill press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comp56 Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 Table saw most likely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruton Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 Probably the 12" bosch glide miter saw and a nice bench vice. Spend what's left on random accessories.Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dg1127 Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 Systaniers or tough boxes i have tools all over in different bags. I used to have a lot of older tools in either metal or a good plastic case. I really hate this bag shit when you by a tool. I remember all my dads tools in nice metal boxes. Needless to say I lost almost everything during Hurricane sandy slow started buying everything back. Buts most of the new tools come with bags. I'll pay extra for a good case Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
