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.
