I don't need a planer. But what comprises a real joiners tool kit?

+++++++

Bosch Heavy Duty Bag Features: Heavy duty toolbag to hold multiple tools and accessories, keep them safe and prevent from damage Tough durable nylon construction, and double stitiching for durability Hard bottom side pockets for stability and strength Multi-pocketed for assorted tools and accessories

2 large pouches on the ends of the bag Reinforced shoulder strap for added support as well as extra strong carry handles A wide top opening and easy access zip design for on-the-go use

A Hand Bag?

Comes with:

1 Saw blade for jigsaw Allen key for jigsaw Sanding paper G80 Micro filter box for sander Carry case for sander Dust bag for planer Parallel guide for planer

Big deal.

A basic joiners kit is a hand plane but I dare say times are changing. You still need a hand plane to clean up after an electric plane.

That's 1.

2 is a drill/driver They must make them?

I suppose a jig saw is a good second saw and more versatile than a circular.

I'd want more for my =A3200.

drill drivers are all on the pricey side.
