My last purchase was a 5 1/2 corrugated bottom hand plane, but I was wondering what others purchased last.

Fastcap Bestfence and 10" Bosch axial glide.
The things is a tank. Its kinda really annoying!
On the other hand being able to manage 18' lengths of cellular pvc and yet perfect clean cuts is kinda awesome.
Shapton Glass 500 stone, purchased last night.
Four inch block plane. I left my six inch behind when I went away for work. Can't work without a block plane. Cheers
Well, there's an antique shop near me in Elizabethton,TN that sells ONLY antique tools, ok it sells other things but mainly tools. Anyway, I had some extra money so I went and bought a Stanley No.733 hand drill, a big ol' Crusader saw from Belknap maybe, and a Millers Falls No.5 hand drill. He's got everything! A Stanley No.45! A Stanley No.113 circular plane! Router Planes! Pit Saws! Hand drill presses! If you can name it, he's got it! If I wasn't straight, I'd marry that guy, but I am! Not that there's anything wrong with that .

Festool cordless drill.
Aside from my #5 Millers Falls and a couple of braces, this is my first cordless drill................Rod.
Assuming a bunch of drawer slides for my MS bench doesn't really count..
I think my last purchase was a Steel City 8" slow speed grinder.
And I think my next purchase is a track saw..

The most expensive tool is the one you buy "cheaply" and often...
Makita 4 1/2" angle grinder (to help restore my Northfield jointer), And before that a delta 1172 tenoning jig.
I bought a Bosch jig saw yesterday. I am making stencils to paint a sign on a barn (12"-33" letters) and couldn't stand to cut them all out with a router. Working great!
18V Milwaukee Sawzall - using it while fixing fence for the cattle....
Jim, that of course means you must sell your existing Mortise chisels to someone local...
