Harbor Freight.

My hands down favorite harbor freight tool is this Hercules HE041 router,

The HERCULES® Variable Speed Fixed Base Router with Plunge Base Kit has a powerful 12 amp soft start motor for precise control and a quality finish in all materials including tough hardwood. The plunge base has a 2 in. plunge capacity. This kit gives you the stability of a fixed base router and the versatility of a plunge base.

• Powerful 12 amp motor delivers 10,000 to 25,000 RPM to power through the most demanding routing applications
• Six speed variable control dial matches speed to application
• Integrated dust collection for cleaner, safer work area
• Accepts all major brand router bits with 1/4 in. or 1/2 in. shanks
• LED light for clear view of workpiece
• Durable clear plastic sub-base for improved line of sight
• Rubberized grip for comfort and control
• Microfine depth adjustment with 1/64 in. increments

The router comes with both fixed and plunge router base, it comes with a very sturdy edge guide, dial adjustable to increase our decrease motor speed, it also has both 1/4 in and 1/2in collects to accommodate virtually any bit, and the wrench it comes with is the best wrench I've ever seen come with a tool it's still a metal wrench but the handle is made with a rubber overmold for your comfort, great soft start and the led is nice and bright, I currently have mine in a router table,  but can remove the motor and switch it to the plunge base, that is until I get another one and have dedicated router, if you're in the need of an inexpensive router for heavy duty work, you can't go wrong with this tool, and p.s. harbor freight almost always has a coupon, so check it out

This is one of my favorite rotary tools, it's cordless and has incredible power, it has 5 different speeds and using them is as easy as just pressing 2 buttons on the body of the tool which increases or decreases the power (RPM) it comes with a variety of different bits to use from sanding to cutting and polishing and also comes with a spark deflector, it has a hard shell nylon case for storage and transportation, and with a base price of 49.99 but if you can't wait harbor freight gives out coupons almost every month so you could pick it up for even less, I have used this tool for everything to engraving to cutting, and if the supplied bits are not the ones needed you can use any of the eighth inch bit on the market, you can even buy mini saw blades for cutting wood. This is definitely a harbor freight favorite 

This 18 gauge combination air nailer/stapler offers a 2-in-1 benefit by driving brad nails or staples. With a lightweight design and quick-release nose piece for effortlessly clearing jams making this nail gun ideal for high-volume production applications, a 360-degree rotatable exhaust for directing debris away from your work area and a full sequential tip safety trigger for added protection.

For the price this is really a no brainer, it takes both staples and nails, 18 gauge, it's a good ergonomic design and it hasn't jammed on me yet, the only down side here is that you have to oil it before every use, which I'm not use to doing, these cost right around 30 bucks, if you have a harbor freight coupon you could get it cheaper, and a 2 in 1 nail gun for that price, is unbeatable, this gun is running strong for me and I'm gonna keep putting it to use, and for the price you could always buy 2 and have them dedicated, one for nails and one for staples.

For 20 bucks you cant go wrong with a purchase of these bits,

I have been using these for over a year now and for the price they are great quality, they're still sharp and haven't had one snap on me yet (of course I'm referring to the smaller diameter bits) but even if one does snap I would purchase this set again because they are worth ever penny. Pick up a set I don't think you'll regret your purchase 

This high quality L-square set helps you keep your projects square and on the level. Each square is constructed of durable aluminum with standard and metric measurements. Each of these carpenter's squares includes an easy-to-read bubble level for proper placement and level measurements.

• Features anodized aluminum finish with 1 in. long neon green bubble levels
• Set includes a 5-3/16 in., 8-3/4 in., 14-5/8 in. ruler
• Standard and metric measurements

I absolutely love these squares, they are square and true, I use them to square blades and to check my edges on lumber and sheet goods, the Built in level makes it even more accurate,  I would've like to pick up some stronger engineering squares, but for 10 bucks these are a great alternative, especially since it comes with 3 different sizes, they offer a wide variety of use, a definite buy, they are aluminum so if you drop one I think you will have to replace it,  but guess what you get 3 squares for 10 bucks and on top of that it comes with a life time warranty, so if you need a good square, down walk run to harbor freight and pick up a set.

The ground tri-edge teeth on this Japanese style double edge saw are razor sharp, cutting cleanly and accurately every time. Designed for general carpentry and fine woodworking, this Japanese style saw has an ergonomic nonslip handle for a comfortable grip. Comes with a blade guard to protect the teeth when the saw is not in use.

• Cuts on pull stroke for better control and accuracy
• Ergonomic nonslip handle
• For rip cutting and cross cutting
• High quality, high carbon steel tapered blade
• Blade guards protect the teeth when the saw is not in use

These come very very sharp so watch you fingers, this is a great alternative for only 11 bucks and it works just as good as the more expensive ones, it's great for Flush cutting on one side and rough cut on the other, this is a great tool for a substitute to an actual Japanese style saw, I highly recommend this tool
