What DIY Tools Are Essential & Why?

[Lex DeVille]

I want to build a shop with tools to make whatever I want (including large items) mostly using wood, acrylic and non-metal products. What do you consider essential tools for a starter DIY shop? Doesn't matter if they're power tools or not. I just want to get a straight answer from experienced people.

Hi Lex,
I've got a dutch affiliate website where I cover DIY tools. Maybe electric (crosscut) saws are a good starting point? People are also looking for (cordless) drills and multitools!

Good luck on your journey!
