What tool would you add to the list?

I'd *delete* all three power saws, and add:
- tape measure
- automobile jack & lug wrench
- hand plane
- sharpening stone
- sandpaper
- files & rasps

The ages are kind of silly. My 4 y/o grandson is using my cordless drill and my
drill press, with lots of help and close supervision (like my hands on his) from
grandpa. My 6 y/o grandson uses a tape measure just fine. They both use my
block plane.

My 40 y/o daughter asked me to come change a tire. I pulled up next to her,
got out of my car, leaned on my fender, and said "First, you take out the
jack..."
