  • Wire Cutters
  • Crimpers
  • Pliers
  • Socket Wrench Set
  • Allen key set
  • Drill/Impact Driver
  • Drill bit/hex sets for the drill/impact driver
  • Jigsaw
  • Angle Grinder

I'm probably missing a few, but these are what I can think of off the top of my head.

It's not a tool, but make sure to have plenty of hardware like bolts/nuts/etc.
In addition to these, you should also have a drill press and bandsaw. They are necessary for the majority of our manufacturing.
