1. CRAFTSMAN 3-Pack Small Parts Organizers
Let’s start with one every shop needs — organization.
This three-pack of stackable organizers costs under $25 at the time of writing. That’s a steal considering how durable and modular these are. You can store screws, bits, bolts, or router accessories, and the removable dividers let you customize the compartments for larger parts.
If you’re tired of searching for random screws or driver bits, this is a must-have.
2. DEWALT Wall Mount Vacuum
I didn’t even know DEWALT made this until recently — and it’s awesome.
This wall-mounted vac doubles as a portable shop vacuum with Bluetooth power control and built-in storage for hoses and attachments. It’s not a full dust collector, but for cleanup in a small shop or garage, it’s perfect.
You can even switch the hose to the opposite port and use it as a blower. I use it to clean sawdust off the workbench and even vacuum out my truck.
3. Bosch 18V Starter Combo Kit
If you’re just getting into cordless tools, Bosch is seriously underrated. This combo kit includes the essentials — drill, driver, and two batteries — and it’s built tough. I’ve been impressed by Bosch’s 18V platform for years; it’s lightweight but powerful enough for furniture building or small carpentry projects.
4. Bosch 18V Cordless Sander
Smooth surfaces make for better finishes, and this compact Bosch sander makes that easy. It’s cordless, so no tripping over cords in the shop, and connects to dust extractors easily. For those working in small spaces, this is a game changer.
5. Bosch 18V Router (Bare Tool or Kit)
Routers are one of my favorite tools, and Bosch nailed it with this one. It’s smooth, compact, and variable speed, perfect for edge profiles or inlays. Add the plunge base and it becomes one of the most versatile routers in your shop.
6. Bosch 18V Track Saw
If you’re working with sheet goods but don’t have space for a table saw, this cordless track saw is a lifesaver. It cuts straight, clean lines with ease and pairs perfectly with Bosch’s dust extractor. It’s portable, powerful, and perfect for small shops or job sites.
7. Jorgensen Hand Planes
Jorgensen isn’t just about clamps anymore — their new line of planes is impressive. These are great for fine-tuning joinery, smoothing surfaces, or cleaning up edges. If you’ve never used a hand plane before, this is a great way to start.
8. BORA MiteriX Adjustable Angle Duplicator
This little gadget is genius. If you’ve ever tried to match an inside or outside miter angle, you know how frustrating it can be. The MiteriX duplicator captures the exact angle and transfers it to your saw. Perfect for trim, frames, or any project where accuracy matters.
9. Klein Tools Impact Flip Socket Set
If you do any assembly, deck building, or mechanical work, this flip socket set is a huge timesaver. It fits multiple fastener sizes and works great with impact drivers. Klein’s reputation for quality tools shows up big time here.
10. Dremel Blueprint 12V Tools
These compact, cordless tools are surprisingly capable for detail work. The Dremel Blueprint Drill and Saw Kit are perfect for hobby projects, DIY builds, or cutting small parts where precision matters.
They’re lightweight, well-built, and a great fit for beginners or anyone short on space.
