I started in a small shop, hence my garage of festools.
Get the TS75. People whine about a little more weight, but it rides on a track and hence weighs nothing when you're pushing it. It has more power and cuts thicker wood. The first time you have to cut thick wood, you'll regret the TS55. I own both. I don't both because I started with the TS55. I wish I'd just bought the 75.
Sanders. Get the 6" system and plan to get the RO90. Those two can do it all. I bought the RO150 because it does everything. Bigger, yes. Then I added the 150/3 for super fine finish work. It's a luxury... Consider the new brushless system @ 6" size.
Pick the vac that fits your budget. You'll never need to upgrade unless you buy that tiny thing that fits in a systainer, which is advise against. It's for tradesmen going into homes.
Corded saws and sanders. Cordless drills.
