Dale, I only see one tool missing from your list.  If you haven't already, get yourself an impact driver.  It's what a cordless drill wants to be when it grows up.  I have a cheap craftsman 14.4v that I bought about a year ago and My DeWalt 14.4v drill gathers dust now.  Oh, yeah, DeWalt makes them too.

As a carpenter, I assume that you drive more than a few screws.  This will drive more screws per battery, drive them faster and seat them more securely and with more control than any cordless drill I've ever used.

As far as my own power tool inventory:
The above mentioned drill and driver, a company provided Black and Decker sawzall, a DeWalt angle grinder, Dremel tool, a DeWalt corded drill.  These are everyday 'truck tools'

For home tools, most of them are 'hand-me-downs'  A seriously beat up Black and Decker circular saw, a Black and Decker Jigsaw.  A Ryobi Miter saw, craftsman 6" bench grinder, Chicago drill press, Lincoln AC 225 welder.
Searching for the perfect left handed revolver.....

Yea I know what you mean about the dewalt impact driver. My friend has one and it drives screws great. The only impact gun I have is a Campell Hasfield that I use to drive lags when I build a deck. It beats turning them in with a ratchet.

You got a good start and you can't go wrong with Dewalt. Did you know that Black & Decker owns Dewalt.
