Re: Tools you can't live without

Just as an addendum to my other post, the basic tools I would want are:

Horizontal and vertical band saws
Drill press with plenty of 1/4" bits (Not expecting to break them, but they have a tendency to get misplaced/dull)
1/4"-20 taps at least, possibly dies. (I would probably expect to break a few when inexperienced people use them)
7/16" wrenches (These have a tendency to get misplaced all the time)
T-Handle set (Preferably with ball-nose ends)
Miter Saw with a metal blade
Pop Riveter
Hammers/mallets
Loctite
