I have done some brief searching and have seen a few cool posts, but I would like to get things together in one place. What is your favorite/most useful shop equipment? I'm moving soon and it is going to be a good opportunity to think about what sorts of equipment it would be fun to have on hand!

I'll start off with:

A good heavy duty work bench
A dual valve low profile aluminum jack
Wall mounted rack for holding wheels/tires


Wishlist:
media tumbler (for cleaning small parts)
do-it-yourself plating equipment
12 ton press
bench grinder
air compressor
