what is your most useful power tool in your shop? i think mine would be a small benchtop drill press. very versatile for drilling, sanding, cleaning, etc.

air body saw. cutting bolts, tin, small gauge metal, plastic, wood...too many uses. I dont even own a hack saw because of body saw.

For hand tools, tape measure speed square.

I am in retirement from the Carpenters Union so I do a fair amount of Woodworking but I also do Mechanical Work too. My Shop is 20' Wide by 40' long with 10' Ceiling,and 10'x8'R.U. door in each end. One half is for Mechanical and the other half is for Wood Working. The Handiest Tool I have for both is my Air Compressor.Next up are my Cordless Drill/Screw Guns.

Hay, Other than a fully functioning Brain! it is my CeeTee 6in slip-joint plyrs on my belt. I use them all the time. In many application I will try it first before I go after a wrench. Surpriseingly you would be amazed how many times it gets the job done. and save steps.
Later,

It's a toss-up between the air compressor and the welder. I don't know how I would survive without either one. Cordless drill, drill press, beer refrigerator, parts washer, heater and ratcheting wrenches are all great, but the welder and air compressor I can't do without.

First power tool I bought 50 years ago was a drill. I would have no fun drilling things by hand.
Next one was a bench grinder.
Right now I'm liking my heater and having something to warm coffee and tea with.

Defanatly my 18v DeWalt cordless drill. I use it at work (HVAC service tech/installer) and all around the farm and I don"t have to drag a extention cord everywhere. Second favorite tool, cordless sawzall great for trimming limbs on trees or demoing drain pipe.

I'm with snitkawl, but my variation is a 1918 18x72" Lodge and Shipley (20 1/4" actual swing). If you have never owned a lathe... especially a big one... you can never imagine what you would possibly use it for. If you own one for two weeks you'll never know how you lived without it.

Poitras 3/4" shaper. It makes siding, hardwood flooring, window casings, bevelled panels, trim, kitchen cabinets, and, of course, doors. The power feeder was worth the money, as well.

Next most useful is most likely one of the jointers, followed closely by the 15" General planer and the 14" Delta bandsaw.

The 12" Delta cutoff saw gets a great deal of use, as do the two Sears radial arm saws.

There are four cordless drills on the bench. They would be hard to do without, as well.

The compressor has become very important since it arrived six months ago. It drives all sorts of nails, staples, and cleats for flooring.

Nothing would get done without the Massey Harris 30 on a trailer moving materials and sawdust around.

I am green with envy. Where can a guy find a good deal on something similar? Wouldn't have to be quite that large.
