If you want a bigger tool for your next purchase, go for a belt/disc sander, lathe, or mill depending on the budget. For hand held tools I recommend (if you don't have them already or don't mind more inventory) a grinder, drill bit sharpener, metal files, reciprocating saw, clamps, rubber mallets, center punches, scratch awls, squares, and calipers.
Also, lots and LOTS of sharpies.
