- Mitre saw with roller ends to support the wood.
- Cheap variable speed electric drill (corded as opposed to cordless) In a spall space like a basement the cord is less of a hassle, and always having the full power available is worth it.
- Powder action hammer. Basically a hammer that uses a .22 shell to drive a nail into concrete. The cheap one is $25 at Home Depot. Use to nail your bottom plates to the cement. And use pressure treated lumber for the bottom plates.
- Compresser and framing nailer. You can get a decent set for $300, and it will save you buckets of time and frustration.
