Skill saw
Clamps (just a good variety of them)
Vise grips; plyers; wire cutters; channel locks other hand tools that are in the same general area as these things.
Saw horses
A good hammer (heavy is better than light, but not too heavy)
Good screw drivers. You need more than just one size phillips head, you know.
A "wonder" bar ... I've used mine so much it's time to get a new one.
A spirit level (at least 2' or 3') and a laser level (for hanging pictures you can't beat it)
A T-square and triangle square
A wet/dry vac
that's all the basic stuff I can think of ... I'm sure I'm forgetting something.
Stuff you might want but don't really need:
Table saw
Bench saw
Air compressor and every tool that you can get for it.
EDIT: a triangle square is actually called a speed square ... sorry, I was just listing things in my head as a I saw them.
