Hi Brent, I found that every one of my 17 Machines and countless hand power tools make my jobs easier by making it quicker, cleaner and accurate. But I did not get tham all at once.

I would suggest you look at what would make your own job easier, more acruate or faster and get that one next. Speed may not be important to you, but for me it frees me up to do more creative and rewarding tasks with hand tools.

 I'll bite. I would be ecstatic with a few more truly sharp hand tools. Small pull saws, files, rasps. A good hand plane would do my list pretty well. I'm a retired machinist and machine operator by trade. Tired of the noise. Those tools are very handy in any shop. Even if you want power tools.

Taffy and David brought up some great advise. I gotta get me one of those rulers that David mentioned as well.

 Hope that helps.
