I own a Moto G, and you don't need any special tools to replace the battery. They just make it easier.

Also, the kit includes a new battery! It's not $40 just for some tools.

I had a Moto G2, and it was incredibly easy to break the up and down physical buttons on it whilst repairing it.

I used to use a Moto G2 as well and I second this. My volume-rocker keys were super wobbly, and literally popped-out in my finals days with the device.

Nice that even the first MotoG still has LineageOS development active - hopefully will get Oreo from LOS!
