Hmm, I'm skeptical. Power tools are the backbone of efficiency. But I'll bite - what's #1 on the list? I'm guessing a good workbench? 😄

I actually read this article earlier. It's spot on! A quality shop press and a tubing bender are game-changers. Forget the fancy impacts for a sec.

Link's not working for me. Can someone copy-paste the list? I'm still learning, so any non-power tool tips are gold 👍

@BuildItBob514 sure, it's: 1. Workbench/storage, 2. Shop press, 3. Tubing bender, 4. Welder (basic), 5. Diagnostic tools. Nothing beats a good welder imo.

Exactly! I'd swap #5 for a hydraulic lift though. Working on your back is for the birds lol.
