Re: Tools you can't live without

If you don't already have one, and/or opt out of a miter saw, consider a horizontal bandsaw. I use ours almost every day to cut stock down to length.

I'd also reccomend several sets of Allen keys. Not the individuals, but the kind on a big block with all the sizes. These are incredibly useful in the pits. Along the same lines, T-bars. You don't always need them, but when you do there's no substitute. We purchased a lousy set for around eight bucks, and have yet to break them.
