Battery (cordless) drill
Impact driver
Battery angle grinder
Chop saw
Bench saw
SDS drill rarely gets used now but on the odd occasion its essential.
An oscillating multi-tool is also an essential but not in the top 5 as its rarely used but when it is there isn't a better tool.
btw OP a Demolition and lifting bar isn't a power tool

I note also the even more subtle omission of the brackets in the thread title

Never heard of it. Boy it's an expensive kit, I'll probably never have it as a result.

Big outlay alright but makes the ****e garden jobs a breeze and it's a four stroke engine - no messing around with fuel mixes and the like. Starts like me car when I need it to.0 -

I actually know someone, a professional, who has lost two digits to a table saw. In separate incidents.
I used to work in tree surgery and forestry and know quite a few people missing fingers.
With a table saw you need to think about the consequences of every action like what would happen if I slip, the wood sticks (and then you push too hard and slip a common error) and work out what could go wrong and adjust accordingly - you'd do fine at that
Only near accident I've had was due to flying wood no fingers anywhere near the saw blade.
Then there are lots of guards, push sticks and such like you can make up to make sure your fingers can never come in contact with the blade.0 -

Your earlier post reminded me I did have an accident with a planner only hand not a power tool but still removed a good few layers of skin.
Usual story rushing a job to finish for the day and needed to reduce the thickness of a piece of wood which I held in one had while using the plane with the other
