tools you dont need right now but nice to have

I'm the opposite - I've used my Jigsaw way more then my circ saw, but then I've been doing a lot of scribing for cabinets/shelves etc.

Currently on the look out for a drill driver/impact driver combo as my old cordless drill only lasts about 5 minutes.

Biscuit Jointer - now there's a tool I don't use very often!

Impact driver was on my list last year but I bought one, I think looking back I probably did need it was much as I wanted it!

This years wanted tool is a router.

The missus and I have built up a fair collection over the years but I would really like some nice wood working tools in the future so I can progress that hobby.

A nice No4 or 5 Jack Plane (Wood River or Veritas)
Some nice bevel chisels and some nice mortice chisels.
A good sharpening guide and sharpening gear Veritas springs to mind.


Having used good examples of the above they make a huge difference over cheap models and make it safer and more enjoyable to do woodwork.

I've found the Qiangsheng planes to be very good

Haha yeah. I used them in a bench joinery course. Never realised how expensive they are!

decided to get a mulit tool. £30 brand new from gumtree for a Stanley fatmax, also picked up a new cheapo grinder, for a £10 brand new you cant really complain.
