This list is the result of 10+ years of tool buying experience. These are all tools I actually use day in and day out in my shop. The exact models I have may no longer be available and I will list the most similar model available to the one I have.

I have listed affiliate links beside each one for your convenience. I earn money off of these links, but at no cost to you. So if you want to help me out, please use the links. If not, no worries!
