- 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.
