Building a backyard shed - what tools do I really need?

Hey everyone, planning to build a 10x12 shed in my backyard this spring. I've done some basic DIY stuff before but nothing this big. What tools should I be looking at? I have a basic drill and circular saw but wondering if I need to upgrade or add anything specific for framing, roofing, etc. Budget is flexible but don't want to go overboard if I don't need to.

OP, you're gonna want the DCS570B 60V MAX FlexVolt circular saw - absolute beast for cutting pressure treated lumber. Pair it with the DCF899 impact wrench for framing, and don't forget the DW735 planer if you're using rough lumber. I have 47 DeWalt tools and these are my go-to's for shed builds. The 20V MAX XR line is good too if you're on a budget but trust me, once you go FlexVolt...

Dan's recommending pro-grade stuff you don't need for one shed. OP: Get a decent corded circular saw (Skilsaw Mag 77 if you can afford it), a good framing square, and RENT a nail gun. Buy a quality 4' level and speed square. Most important: get a laser level for foundation work. Don't waste money on battery tools you'll use twice a year. I've built over 200 sheds - proper layout tools matter more than brand names.

As a hobbyist who built my own shed last year - LISTEN TO DRILLMASTER. I bought all the fancy tools and honestly my $80 corded circular saw did 95% of what the $300 battery one did. The one thing I'd add: get a good miter saw for cutting rafters. Even a basic 10" sliding compound will save you hours. And measure twice, cut once - my roof had a 2" gap because I rushed the ridge board cuts lol

Contractor here - DrillMaster's right about renting the nailer. But OP: consider your future projects. If you'll do more woodworking, invest in a good table saw (SawStop if safety's a concern). For shed specific: corded circular saw, impact driver/drill combo, chalk line, and a GOOD tape measure (Stanley FatMax). Skip the laser level unless your foundation needs to be perfect - 4' level and string line works fine for most sheds.
