I'd add:


* Fein Multimaster or its clone
* Pencil
* ????


Your suggestions?


I suggest they take the non-tool items off the list: *Goggles? *Dust
Mask? *Oh brother. *Why not underwear?


I'd replace the nearly useless coping saw with a powered miter saw
anyday.

Coping saws are far from useless. It all depends on the types of
projects your work on. I use one quite often for making fine cuts in
fiberglass and other materials.- Hide quoted text -

The damned things have a mind of their own sometimes. I get more
precise results nibbling away at materials with any number of other
power tools. And it's a lot faster with power tools.

That reminds me, they should also take the crosscut saw off the list.
I'd rather have a pneumatic brad nailer. They already have a circular
saw on their list.
