hello mate, the router you need is 1/2" and you will need to invest in a 4 ft and 6 ft spirit level, all your other stuff seems to be in order, although someone will come by later and add more bits, good luck mate
You might want to consider:- A tile cutter,some trowels and floats. A good selection of decent clamps. Folding tressels
Yes - Bucket, gauging trowel, hawk and float. I keep doing stuff on kitchens where the plaster is damaged (sometimes by me). Add to that a pry bar or two for getting worktops out that are silicoed and glued into place And some disinfectant, heavy detergent, rubber gloves and floor clothes for when you get a really greasy one (like down the backs of 40 year old Agas, yuk!)

listen guys , hows about we do a "virtual tool box" for wristy , listing all the pucker gear , as if you went out tommorow and bought it but with the benifit of experience, as in your cordless tools would all be hopefully same voltage and make so batteries and chargers are compatible . for me most power tools would be 110 volt festool , water pump pliers and adjustable spanners by bahco , clamps have to be solo , but you need a deep record clamp for one end of your jig , best snap knife is the new irwin , best blow torch is that self igniting german one ....whats it called ??.and wristy if you re under 35 get yourself a princes trust business grant , if your mums a designer then ask to get in with a fitting team for 6 months , its a whole lot easier learning the tricks of the trade from an old dog than learning for yourself
Dust sheets, 9' x 12' plus stair runner dust sheets 24' x 3' (good on hallways). Vacuum [Aquavac/Vax/Trend] (if not already mentioned).
