Well we have an electronic test bench thread with a lot of very nice tools / equipment. So i figure we could use a thread with all the best wood working tools.

Can you guys throw some "names & prices" of used/new tools that we all need to repair cabs. No matter how bad those cabs might be.

Here are a few tools I don't have. Whats the best brand? Whats the price?

Biscuit Joiner
Crown Molding Gun - Is this brads or staples?

3 tools I cannot live without in restoration land. Random Orbital Sander, Crown Stapler and a nice router. You also need a nice circular saw, metal bondo knives in various widths and an HVLP spray gun or a box full of nice white foam rollers in 4, 6 and 9" lengths. I also use a dead blow hammer, rubber mallet and 3 different sizes of chisels quite often.

That's a great start. Also a good cordless drill.
Irwin Quick Grip clamps (assorted sizes) are great for holding your work pieces without marring them.
 
Here is primarily what i've used.

Power Tools:
Biscuit Joiner - Ryobi, ~$100
Router - Craftsman, ~$?? (was my fathers)
Random Orbital Sander - Porter Cable, ~$130
Palm Sander - makita, ~$40
table saw - Craftsman, Free!
drill press - ryobi, borrowed from a friend
mini band saw - delta, ~$100
circular saw - craftsman, $??? (was my fathers)
dremel

hmm, that's all i can think of right now.
