Is a miter saw and table saw high on the list?
I bought both when I was re-modeling my house. Used the hell out of both during that time. That's been ~3 years ago. Now they basically just collect dust in my garage.

A nice drill or two with all the bits you need, hammer, Allen wrench set, monkey wrench, pliers, socket wrench, and maybe a hack saw. You really only need enough to do easy projects around the house and basic maintenance on your car/truck. Unless you like to build stuff, everything else is just for fun.

Here's a bit of advice: whatever size shed you THINK you need, double it. My husband built himself a huge shed in the backyard and still wishes he'd built it bigger.
Also, when we got married 17 years ago, the man was not very handy. Home ownership and Hurricane Katrina have turned him into a very skilled carpenter. He went from someone who couldn't built a basic shelf to someone who sheetrocked and trimmed out our whole house post-Katrina and who built a huge enclosed deck and a large shed on his own. His craftsmanship is very good. Although you may not think you need many tools now, when you begin doing basic household repairs, you may find yourself taking on larger tasks in the future.
Oh, and get a window unit A/C for your shed. Not only did it come in handy when I was refinishing some furniture in his shed last summer, but it is just good to have on hand. One summer evening, our A/C in the house went on the blink. A repairman couldn't come until the next day. We got the window unit from the shed and put it in our master bedroom window for the night. It saved us the hassle of going to a hotel. (I am not sleeping in the heat.)
I don't know what tools you need, but my husband uses his miter saw and table saw often.

You might call it a chop saw.

Why don't they make a 20mm socket? They are impossible to find locally. No kit has them either.
I've used a 20mm socket exactly once in my life. I had to run out to Autozone to pick it up.

My Makita reciprocating saw (Sawzall) is one of my favorite possessions. It doesn't cut neatly for furniture and stuff, but that motherfricker (with Diablo blade) has paid for itself many times over.
Quick and painless.

If you do wood work more than once a year, then yes. An air compressor whould be up there as well.
As well as a full metric and standard socket set, wrench set, multiple types of plyers.
(hell I could go on, three walls in my garage are covered in tools)

The tools he can actually use. If you don't know how or when to use it, probably don't need it
