So I'm getting ready to have a 10x8 shed/workshop fitted in the back garden. One side will be for my old games consoles and other such mancave nonsense, and the other I want a proper workbench for the numerous projects that I do for fun.
I'll definitely be getting a vice, I'll have my soldering iron and dremel stand stationed in there too. What other things would you suggest? I'm thinking grinding stone, mitre saw, maybe a pillar drill?
Lets hear your ideas

Gaffer Tape to stick bits that need sticking.
WD40 for bits that are stuck but shouldn't be.
Pillar Drill is a good idea but get a decent one - the cheap ones have too much play for accurate drilling.

As boring as it sounds, get the tool you need for the job Most of the tools i have i bought over many years specifically to help with certain tasks Unless you're in a Brewster's Millions situation and you need to spend a certain amount before the time runs out. In that case, something like this  |

As boring as it sounds, get the tool you need for the job Most of the tools i have i bought over many years specifically to help with certain tasks This. It really is car specific. Short of your generic tools like sockets, hammers etc. some cars can have certain tools that are a life saver; my Spring clip removal tool for instance has been handy on so many moderns now. But otherwise that is it. I'll assume you have sockets, jacks, axle stands and so on. I have these tools which I tend to use more often or save alot of time with in comparison to the others. - Impact Wrench 1/2" ; it's sped up jobs alot!
- Gear/pulley pullers ; On some bushes these have made the job alot easier like E46 Lollypop bushes and rear ARB joints
- Laptop; saves me chasing things I don't need and seeing what the car thinks is wrong
- Various oil filter removal tools ; easier to remove and saves wrecking a driveway
- Vice on a solidly mounted bench ; I won't say any more here
- 2 types of drain trays ; One of them is a pain to clean up for oil but has a large capacity
If I wanted more it would be the following, but I need the space for it: - A car lift of sorts
- Large air compressor
- Various air tools
- I'm sure I've missed something!
