Bessey K-Body REVO 24"
These clamps are absolutely worth the investment. After years of fighting cheap bar clamps that flex and slip, the K-Body REVOs changed my glue-up game completely. The parallel jaws distribute pressure evenly and I've never had a panel come out twisted since switching.

Bosch ROS20VSC Sander
Great value sander for the price. Dust collection is decent but not Festool-level. The variable speed is nice for finishing work. Only ding is the weight—gets tiring on large tabletops, but for 90% of projects it's perfect.

Ridgid 12 Gal NXT Shop Vac
The lifetime warranty alone makes this worth it. I've been running mine daily for 3 years in a small garage shop. Replaced the filter once (free under warranty). Suction is strong enough for my table saw and router table.

DeWalt DCD791 Drill
Solid drill for woodworking. The compact size makes it easy to work in tight spaces and the LED light is genuinely useful. Battery life is excellent. My only complaint is that the clutch settings could be more granular for delicate work.

3M WorkTunes Hearing Protection
Game changer for the shop. I actually wear these every session now because I can listen to podcasts while working. The noise reduction is excellent and they're comfortable for hours. Best $50 I've spent on PPE.
