Ditto on the compressor & air tools, which have saved me alot of busted knuckles & also air nailers are great.

I have Ridgid RoboGrip II so maybe everybody is making those.

I am going to buy a new battery operated drill. I have a couple of older Mikata's and they are kind of puny for driving long screws into dense wood. I have a corded DeWalt and it is puny also. (and they all require using a chuck key) My friend has an 18V Ryobi that impressed me for its torque and keyless chuck. The battery operated Ryobi will out drive my corded DeWalt, which surprised me.

I have a compound double bevel DeWalt miter saw which is really nice, but limited in cut width. A good table saw w/ precision fence & blade angle adjust would be nice if I can find the space.
